Boschkloof Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
About the wine
Dark, intense, classic Cab Sav from 30 year old vines
-
Reenen Borman is one of the rising stars of the South Africa wine scene. He made the highest rated South African red wine ever scored by Tim Atkin, who called him “one of the most talented young winemakers in the world” - high praise from one of the UK’s leading wine boffins.
-
Reenen uses 30-35 year old vines to make his dense, dark, classic Cab Sav. Grown near Cape Town’s iconic False Bay, which frames some of the country’s most prestigious vineyards with cool coastal breeze sweeping off the Atlantic Ocean - it's no surprise that this ripe, melt-in-the-mouth Cab Sav is such a gem.
-
Deliciously complex Christmas cake flavours mingle on your tongue. It’ll age for up to 8 years. Great with a nice steak.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Reenen Borman
Reenen Borman is one of the rising stars of the South Africa wine scene. He made the highest-rated South African red wine ever scored by Tim Atkin, who called him "one of the most talented young winemakers in the world" – high praise from one of the UK’s leading wine boffins.
Reenen’s Boschkloof estate, on the edge of Stellenbosch, is a true family-run winery. Reenen makes the wines, his dad Jacques tends to the grapes, and his mum Marina and wife Marli run the office.
Reenen sells 90% of his wine to restaurants and bars around the world – so the sudden global closures posed an enormous risk to his family-run winery. Your support will be a total game-changer for his small business.
