Boekenhoutskloof Wolftrap Red Blend 2022

Winemaking
Crafted by the renowned Boekenhoutskloof estate, The Wolftrap is a bold and approachable red blend inspired by the wines of the southern Rhône. A combination of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Viognier delivers depth, spice, and aromatic lift. Fermentation in stainless steel and ageing in older oak preserves bold fruit and smooth texture.

Bouquet
Aromas of blackberry, plum, and black cherry with notes of cracked pepper, cinnamon, liquorice, and a touch of floral lift from Viognier.

Palate
Full-flavoured and plush with juicy dark fruits, soft tannins, and warm spice. Hints of cocoa and smoked meat lead into a smooth, dry finish with a gentle savoury edge.

Food Pairing
Perfect with BBQ ribs, chargrilled meats, spiced lentil stew, or hard cheeses. A brilliant value red for bold dishes and casual entertaining.

Cellaring
Drink now or within 3–5 years while the fruit is fresh and vibrant.

Interesting Fact
The name “Wolftrap” refers to an old, unused trap found on the property’s historic grounds—an echo of the wild landscape where these expressive blends are born.
