The nose offers a blend of freshly squeezed lemons, juicy pears, orange blossom, soft lemon curd, and honeysuckle. The wine is rich, elegant, lively, and mineral-driven all at once. The use of oak is evident: the palate reveals notes of vanilla and almonds. All culminating in a long, dry, nutty finish with peach blossom and subtle marzipan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine \u0026amp; Food Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoekenhoutskloof Sémillon\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fantastic, characterful white dinner wine. Serve something special, something rich in flavour: for example, a lobster salad, crab dishes, or a spicy Moroccan chicken tagine. This is not a wine to serve casually on the terrace or as an aperitif.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoekenhoutskloof is a prominent winery in Franschhoek that is particularly impressive in terms of quality. Despite its somewhat unusual African name for 'French' Franschhoek, Boekenhoutskloof was founded three centuries ago by French Huguenots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven the current winemaker, Marc Kent, still has a connection to France. He visits at least once a year to find new inspiration in Cornas, in the northern Rhône. Back home in Franschhoek, he has made a name for himself with blockbuster wines such as Boekenhoutskloof Sémillon, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, all of which belong to the absolute top of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/zuid-afrika\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Kent has more strings to his bow. In addition to these flagship wines, produced only in small quantities, he also makes exceptionally attractive wines available to a wider audience under the names Porcupine Ridge and The Wolftrap. On a somewhat higher level, The Chocolate Block certainly belongs here too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Accolades 🏆\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Atkin - 96 points (2019)\u003cbr\u003eTim Atkin - 95 points (2018)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boekenhoutskloof","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944356712773,"sku":"30150","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/a44a4f8c7566ba4f24f3a0a95af419e26c844f9b.jpg?v=1787299713","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/boekenhoutskloof-semillon","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
