This captivating 2005 vintage presents a radiant color, hinting at its luscious character. With a medium body, it embraces the palate with an enchanting balance of richness and elegance.

A truly food-friendly choice, it pairs exquisitely with a variety of desserts or can be savored on its own for a perfect conclusion to a delightful meal. With a harmonious blend of flavors and a smooth, clean finish, the Boekenhoutskloof Late Harvest leaves a lasting impression that is a testament to the artistry of Franschhoek's winemakers.

Coastal Region
Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
