Merchant's description
Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776 and their wonderful Syrah is sourced from two properties in the Swartland (Porseleinberg and Goldmine). The complex nose offers a brooding compote of dark berry fruit, black olives and spice. On the palate, it is full and round with intense notes of allspice, liquorice and black pepper.
