Tasting Notes
"...The 2022 is like a cross between a Barsac and a Jurançon sticky, with wonderful citrus peel, honey and crème caramel flavours, a waft of cinnamon spice and near-perfect balance between fresh acidity and 184 grams of residual sugar. 2026-35" - 98 pts Tim Atkin MW
More Info
Made by Gottfried Mocke, winemaker at Boekenhoutskloof since 2016, named by Tim Atkin MW as his winemaker of the year in 2021. This is made exclusively from plantings on their Swartland property Goldmine, that borders the Mullineux's Roundstone property just outside Riebeek Kasteel. Gottfried explained that the fruit from here is amazing, and the vines have come of age. The wine that he started making experimental quantities of a few years ago has certainly shifted up a couple of gears. They can foot stomp and micro-vinify in separate foudres, and do everything you'd do in a small Domaine.
