For those who lean towards reds, Boekenhoutskloof’s latest Syrah and Cabernets are just as compelling. Matthew Jukes calls the 2022 Syrah an 'enthralling wine', flirting with perfection at 19+/20. With 90% Porseleinberg fruit, it has 'a thrilling perfume that resembles a lusty Morey-Saint-Denis'.

The 19+/20 pt Franschhoek Cabernet 2022 is 'sheer heaven', says Jukes. While this wine can easily mature for a decade, its incredible drinkability makes it hard to resist. 'I, for one, will be attacking this wine indecently early in its life,' he continues.

We enjoy the distinctive varietal character of the 95-point 2022 Stellenbosch Cabernet (Tim Atkin). Moreish with a chalky, graphite finish, this 'roguish Pauillac-dimensioned wine counterpoints the grace and elegance of its sibling Cab with visible definition' (Jukes).
