Boekenhoutskloof Wine Estate is a renowned winery located in the Franschhoek Valley of South Africa. The estate is known for its exceptional quality wines and is considered one of the leading wine producers in the country. Boekenhoutskloof, despite its somewhat unusual African name for the 'French' Franschhoek, was founded three centuries ago by French Huguenots.
The winery was founded in 1776 and is located on a historic estate called Boekenhoutskloof, hence the name of the winery. The estate includes vineyards spread across diverse microclimates, contributing to the diversity and complexity of their wines.
Current winemaker Marc Kent also still has a thing for France. He visits at least once a year to gain new inspiration in the northern Rhône, Cornas. At home in Franschhoek he has made a name for himself with great wines such as Boekenhoutskloof Semillon, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, all of which are among the absolute top in South Africa. But Kent has more strings to his bow. In addition to these showpieces, which are only produced in small quantities, he also makes extremely attractive wines under the names Porcupine Ridge and The Wolftrap that are available to a wider audience. At a slightly higher level, this certainly includes The Chocolate Block.
