Boschkloof Conclusion 2022

R546.00

Grapes were specially selected and harvested by hand and the vineyard yield was exceptionally low at 4-6 tons per hectare. During this process skins were punched down 4 times per day. After completion of alcoholic fermentation, further skin contact was allowed for an average of 18 days. Matured in 35% new 225 litre French oak barrels for 20 months.

The blend consists of 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Syrah, 26% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc.

Boschkloof Conclusion is a true expression of good grape quality and terroir. The wine was made as natural as possible. On the nose the aromas are blueberry, mixed herbs, bruised plum and some lovely cigar box flavours. The wine is highly concentrated with a big, but elegant mid-palate and a long finish. This wine has great potential for ageing.

Description
Boschkloof was purchased in 1995 and named after the natural ravine or ‘kloof’ on the farm. The land consists of rolling hills and picturesque mountain backdrops. The soil consists mostly of decomposed granite and koffieklip. The original vineyards on the farm consisted mostly of Cape Riesling, but Jacques decided to remove it and plant better-suited cultivars like Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay. Today Boschkloof is most renowned for their Syrah, especially the single vineyard bottling called Epilogue. It was the first red wine of South Africa to score 98 points by an internationally acclaimed critic.
