From the Boekenhoutskloof property Goldmine, on the Kasteelberg, next to the Mullineux’s Roundstone, this is a brilliant Schist-based Syrah. It’s as elegant as Syrah in the Swartland gets: peppery, floral, and beautifully fine-boned. Incredible length and savouriness define the long finish. This is a delicious, charming wine.

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.

Patina is a classic expression of Syrah grown on schist soils, with racy, floral, baking spice aromas, fine, silky, aromatic strawberry and red cherry fruit, some texture from 50% whole bunches and no new oak. "A Cape Cote Roti". Plush, yet refined. (Tim Atkin MW - 93 points)
