Boekenhoutskloof Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R525
‘"Very dry with very small berries" is how Gottfried Mocke sums up the 2020 vintage in Stellenbosch. Sourced from four vineyards in Faure and on the Helderberg, this is powerful, structured and intense, with lots of body and backbone. Partnering Cabernet Sauvignon with 4% Cabernet Franc, it's bold and inky, with classic black cherry and blackcurrant fruit and vanilla-scented 65% new wood. Natural acidity freshens the finish. 2024-32’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2022, 95/100
