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.
