Live From the Vines: Boekenhoutskloof Winery
Hosted by Ronan Sayburn MS
Although established in 1776, the modern-day tale of Boekenhoutskloof began in 1993 when the farm acquired new owners who embarked on a head-to-toe refurbishment.
This included not only a finely tuned vineyard planting programme, but also the (ongoing) acquisition of 2,500-litre foudres made from Austrian oak and numbered in the same ‘Platform 9 & ¾’ font à la Harry Potter.
Technical director Marc Kent joins Ronan Sayburn MS to discuss the story of Boekenhoutskloof and sample a selection of wines which are available as a tasting kit to digital members.
It’s a tantalising line-up which includes the much-adored The Chocolate Block as well Porseleinberg – Kent’s new premium Syrah project which already stands as one of South Africa’s most highly regarded takes on the grape.
