Information about "Boschkloof Epilogue 2023"
The Boschkloof Epilogue captivates with a seductive aroma of dark berries, black pepper, and a whisper of garrigue herbs, reflecting its characteristic granite origin. On the palate, it presents a dense and structured profile with juicy flavors of blackberry, sloe, and black olives, complemented by elegant roasted notes from 40% new French oak. This complex and multifaceted Syrah is a true masterpiece, embodying both power and balance, and showcasing remarkable aging potential.
Epilogue is the flagship red wine of Boschkloof, sourced from a single vineyard parcel. The SH99 Syrah clone thrives in weathered granite soil in the Stellenbosch hills. Handpicked grapes were fermented 60% whole cluster, with minimal intervention, aging in 60% concrete and 40% new French oak barrels (all 400 liters), and undergoing minimal filtration.
