Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Boekenhoutskloof, fact sheet (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2014 Boekenhoutskloof Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon – område: Franschhoek; druer: Cabernet Sauvignon; alkohol 13.8%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Our Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon, containing 6% Cabernet Franc, was sourced from four indi- vidual parcels adjacent to one another on a south westerly aspect of our Franschhoek valley. Soil: sandy loam over granite bedrock. Winemaking Philosophy (Vinification & Winemaker’s Comments) Grapes were picked by hand into small boxes, hand sorted and gently destalked. The grapes under- went a cold maceration in traditional concrete vessels and then fermented at temperatures between 27° and 30°C with frequent pump-overs to extract aromas, colour and tannins. After alcoholic fermentation a prolonged malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in 225 litre barriques. The wine was matured in French oak from our preferred coopers, Sylvain and Saury.
