2022 Semillon, Boekenhoutskloof, Franschhoek

2022 Semillon, Boekenhoutskloof, Franschhoek

As always, the Boekenhoutskloof Semillon is made with some of the oldest vines in the Cape with the two parcels from 1902 and 1942, and just a little dash of Muscat d'Alexandrie also from a 1902 plot to add aromatic lift. The wine is fermented in barrique and concrete egg with ageing in 70% new oak and the remainder in concrete eggs for texture. The 2022 Semillon is quite simply brilliant and idiosyncratic. A spicy nose of ginger, tangerine, white peach and lemon balm the palate opens out to reveal a certain creaminess from the oak yet still with a fine bead of acidity. The finish is bright and complex, this will age beautifully over the coming years.
