Vinification Details

Gentle winemaking practices with minimum intervention contribute to this approachable wine. The grapes were harvested at different ripeness levels, striving for freshness, fruit character, balance and structure. We opted for subtle oak usage (3 months in old French Oak Barrels) to emphasise the fresh citrus fruit flavours. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine was left on its fine lees for three months, with batonage (lees stirring) being done once a month.

History

Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm's name means “ravine of the Boekenhout” (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making. In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier.

Regional Information

The Porcupine Ridge brand has its origins in the natural environment of the farm and the ongoing efforts to conserve the biodiversity on the property and the surrounding mountains. In addition to a number of rare fauna and flora species - such as the erica lerouxiae which is endemic to Boekenhoutskloof - the farm is home to a several Crested Porcupine families, which are however rarely seen due to their nocturnal lifestyle
