Boekenhoutskloof Wolftrap Red Blend 2022

Comprising the cherished trio of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and a dash of Viognier, the 2021 vintage is a testament to the artistry of winemaking. Blessed with moderate weather conditions that gently nurtured ripening, each grape embodies excellence. From the cool embrace of the growing season to the timely rainfall blessing the flowering period, nature's hand guided the vines towards perfection. Boekenhoutskloof's focus on the Swartland profile enriches the blend with notes of dark brooding fruit, delicate violets, and a whisper of olive tapenade. With Mourvèdre standing tall against the heatwaves, its bold colour and meaty allure anchor the blend, while Syrah lends its own charm with cherry and plum undertones. Minimal intervention ensures a pure expression of the terroir, reflected in the opulent nose brimming with ripe dark fruits, subtle spices, and a hint of perfume. On the palate, a symphony unfolds, intertwining blackberry, liquorice, and hints of biltong, leading to a velvety midpalate adorned with cranberry fruit and silky oak tannins. Savoury nuances dance gracefully, weaving accents of black olive tapenade and cassis into a smooth, round finish. Indulge in this captivating journey through layers of complexity and depth, encapsulated in every sip of this distinguished blend.
