  2024 The Wolftrap White, Boekenhoutskloof

  £995

  Crafted at the historic Boekenhoutskloof estate, established in 1776 and nestled in the remote reaches of Franschhoek, The Wolftrap White is a vibrant blend that pays tribute to the pioneers who, in the early days, ventured into the Cape wilderness and erected a wolf trap on Boekenhoutskloof. To date, no wolf, either real or mystical, has been seen in the valley!

  In the glass, this enticing blend of Viognier (34%), Chenin Blanc (33%), and Grenache Blanc (33%) opens with bright, aromatic notes of peach melba, honeysuckle, and soft citrus blossom. The Viognier leads with rich, ripe stone fruit and florals, while Chenin Blanc adds fresh acidity, lifting the palate and contributing a generous layer of juicy pear and crisp apple. Grenache Blanc completes the trio with soft yellow plum, zesty minerality, and a subtle herbal elegance.  Lush yet balanced, the palate is creamy and textured with a refreshing finish that makes it an ideal partner for various dishes, from seafood and Asian cuisine to poultry and creamy cheeses.

  2024 Goldmine White, Boekenhoutskloof

  £2450

  From the makers of the legendary Chocolate Block comes its luminous counterpart, the 2024 Goldmine White, a blend that captures the sunlit soul of South Africa’s vineyards. The nose is both fresh and intricate, offering layers of quince, poached pear, and nectarine, with undertones of bruised apple, chamomile and a whisper of baking spice. The palate glides between vibrancy and depth with ripe stone fruit and citrus framed by a poised structure of oak-aged Semillon, textured Swartland Chenin Blanc, bright Chardonnay and a delicate floral lift from Viognier. The finish is long, seamless, and quietly luxurious resulting in a white wine of poise, purpose and undeniable pedigree.

  For when: dinner feels special and the playlist’s just right.
  Pairs with: roast chicken with lemon and herbs, creamy shellfish pasta, or a sunset that turns everything gold.
  If this wine were a mood, it’d be late-afternoon light through linen curtains, warm, elegant, and unhurried.

  Boekenhoutskloof, founded in 1776 and reimagined under the visionary Marc Kent, is one of South Africa’s most acclaimed estates, a name synonymous with craft, consistency, and quiet brilliance. Based in Franschhoek but sourcing fruit from select sites across the Western Cape, Boekenhoutskloof has built its reputation on meticulous blending and an unwavering pursuit of balance.

  The Goldmine White continues that legacy: a masterful blend that reflects both the diversity of South African terroir and Boekenhoutskloof’s house philosophy, purity of fruit, elegance of form, and understated complexity. The 2024 vintage embodies the Cape at its most expressive: sun and sea breeze, richness and restraint, woven together into something genuinely golden.

  2023 The Chocolate Block, Boekenhoutskloof

  £2495

  The 2023 vintage of The Chocolate Block continues to build on its legacy as one of South Africa’s most iconic and sought-after red blends. Crafted predominantly from Syrah, with carefully selected additions of Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Viognier (blend proportions vary annually), this cult-status wine showcases Boekenhoutskloof’s mastery in balancing innovation and consistency. Only 4,043 barrels were produced, further enhancing its rarity and appeal.

  In the glass, the wine opens with an intensely aromatic bouquet of blackberries, blueberries, and ripe bramble fruit, intertwined with black olive tapenade, crushed violets, and a dusting of white pepper and coriander seed. The palate is rich yet polished, delivering layers of dark berry fruit, red liquorice, and cherry compote, underscored by hints of cherry tobacco and exotic spice.

  Despite its medium to full body, the wine remains elegant and focused, with vibrant acidity and silky tannins that glide across the palate. The finish is long, dry, and laced with a touch of savoury complexity, reflecting both the terroir and meticulous craftsmanship behind the blend.

  A compelling, age-worthy red that drinks beautifully now but will reward cellaring over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with flame-grilled meats, game dishes, or rich Mediterranean fare.
