History: 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.
Regional information: The Porcupine Ridge brand has its origins in the natural environment of the farm and the ongoing efforts to conserve the biodiversity on the property and the surrounding mountains. In addition to a number of rare fauna and flora species - such as the erica lerouxiae which is endemic to Boekenhoutskloof -the farm is home to a several Crested Porcupine families, which are however rarely seen due to their nocturnal lifestyle
Vinification: Grapes were sourced mainly from the Helderberg area near Stellenbosch. We used a small percentage of Cabernet Franc to enhance the flavour profile, lending a beautiful fruit character, a silky texture and subtle fragrance to our cuvée. The smart use of French oak for 9 months adds to complexity and structure without overpowering the wine.
