Named after the original property established in 1776, the vineyard at Boekenhoutskloof were established in 1993 in the Franschhoek Valley and planted to Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier. Mark Kent is the winemaker and driving force behind the estate creating a range of well-crafted wines under different labels such as Boekenhoutskloof, The Wolftrap, Porcupine Ridge, The Chocolate Block.
Boekenhoutskloof is rated as South Africas’s #1 producer by Robert Parker and has recently picked up the 2012 Winery of the Year in the prestigious Platters South Africa Wine Guide. One of the countries finest and most innovative producers.
As a producer, Boekenhoutskloof is a Syrah specialist, with its premium Boekenhoutskloof range selling out on release each vintage, and The Chocolate Block – a Syrah based blend – is probably the most successful new wine offering to come out of South Africa in the modern era.
The Wolftrap brand of blended Rhone-style wines was inspired by the pioneering spirit of the early settlers who built what is now a monument to their adventurous spirit. The Porcupine Ridge range of delicious, everyday wines is a firm favourite on tables throughout the world – offering great value and superb drinking.
