2019 Boekenhoutskloof Noble Late Harvest

Boekenhoutskloof is a high-profile winery in Franschhoek that is particularly impressive in terms of quality. Boekenhoutskloof, despite its somewhat unusual African name for the 'French' Franschhoek, was founded three centuries ago by French Huguenots. The current winemaker Marc Kent also still has something with France. He visits it at least once a year to find new inspiration in the northern Rhône, Cornas. In 2020 Boekenhoutskloof was voted the best winery in South Africa by Platter

The Boekenhoutskloof Noble Late Harvest is a noble wine made from semillon grapes harvested late. Vibrant gold in the glass. With recognizable botrytis in the scent in which acacia blossom, white peach, pear and subtle flowers can also be discovered. The wine is full of character and intense. With an elegant sweetness. And with flavors of peach, apricot and nectarine. Followed by brioche, marmalade and elderflower. Also a light spiciness. What a concentration. And what a length!

A very special dessert wine is this Boekenhoutskloof Noble Late Harvest. Delicious with sweet dishes with apricots and peaches (e.g. tartelettes) or other fruit desserts. Heavenly scenes at crêpes Suzette. By the way: try something different and serve it with a piece of blue cheese. Surprising. Goes well with: fruit desserts, crêpes Suzette, Roquefort
