Boekenhoutskloof Syrah 2015, Swartland

Description

Boekenhoutskloof began in 1776 and is now in the very capable hands of Marc Kent, one of the biggest names in South African wine. Tim Atkin MW labelled them a First Growth in his 2021 South Africa report, and this is one of the most in-demand Syrahs in the country. It has concentrated notes of blackcurrant, black olive, ripe plums, cardamom and black pepper. Match with a dish that can stand up to plenty of flavour, like barbecued ribs or juicy beef burgers.
