Details
This is one of the most expressive vintages during these early stages of the wine. Already plenty of green apple, pear and stonefruit is shown on the nose with attractive oaking undertones. Floral, citrus and mineral hints just add to the liveliness of this wine. The structure and core acidity of these century old vines are very evident on the palate. The lanolin and other tertiary flavours will develop even more, this will most definitely be one of the highlights in a Boekenhoutskloof Semillon vertical tasting.
About the Harvest
The wines from these old bushvines are intensely complex, well-structure and have unbelievable aging potential.
