Boekenhoutskloof Semillon Franschhoek

Franschhoek, South Africa

South Africa's most celebrated old-vine Semillon from ancient Franschhoek vines — a wine of extraordinary complexity and Burgundian character. Lanolin, beeswax, lemon curd, white peach, and the distinctive waxy mineral depth that only old-vine Semillon achieves. One of the Cape's most age-worthy whites; South Africa's greatest Semillon.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Old-vine Semillon's waxy richness and mineral depth is the Cape's finest match for rich seafood stew; rouille's spice finds resonance in the wine's complexity
• main: The Cape's prized pelagic fish and Franschhoek's finest Semillon — the wine's waxy texture and citrus depth bridges the fish's richness; cape sambal's spice is tempered by the wine's weight
