It is warm there, but it rarely gets warmer than thirty degrees during the growing season. This is due to the fresh sea breeze and the fact that the vineyards are generally located at a higher altitude. The perfect place for making wines, therefore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt home in Franschhoek, Marc Kent has made a name for himself with blockbuster wines like \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boekenhoutskloof-semillon\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eBoekenhoutskloof Semillon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boekenhoutskloof-syrah\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eyrah\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/boekenhoutskloof-franschhoek-cabernet-sauvignon\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eCabernet Sauvignon,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e all of which belong to the absolute top of South Africa. But Kent has more strings to his bow. Besides these limited-production showpieces, he also makes exceptionally attractive wines under the names Porcupine Ridge and The Wolftrap, which are available to a wider audience. On a somewhat higher level, The Chocolate Block certainly belongs here too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForty percent of the harvest is fermented with whole bunches in concrete eggs, the remaining 60% is pressed and partially fermented and aged in barriques (50% new) and a smaller part in 600-liter foudres.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDid you know? On the top of the capsule is an image of a slender lady. This is the emblem of Boekenhoutskloof and is an adaptation of an early silver mark of the Cape of Good Hope, carrying the dove of peace and hope. She guards Boekenhoutskloof and represents intrinsic quality above all else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Distinctions 🏆\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePlatter's by Diners Club Wine Guide - ***** (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTim Atkin - 94 points (2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eJancis Robinson - 16.5 points (2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSuckling (2019) : 91\/100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eParker (2019): 90\/100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBoekenhoutskloof was named the best winery in South Africa by Platter's Wine Guide in 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChief winemaker Gottfried Mocke was named Winemaker of the Year 2020 by Tim Atkin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Boekenhoutskloof","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944357564741,"sku":"30167","price":41.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/69b31276e26e46f00a9becc56c47bec11b0f706c.jpg?v=1787299731","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/cap-maritime-estate-pinot-noir","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
