Named after a Cape beech tree used for furniture, this old world style Semillon from Boekenhoutskloof winery exhibits aromas of lemon zest, grass and wet stones that lead to a mellow yet weighty wine with citrus, kiwi and white rose petals uplifted by the right acidity.
A pleasurable Semillon. Alcohol 14.8%. $29. For more information visit Boekenhoutskloof winery’s website at www.boekenhoutskloof.co.za

Anyone contemplating a trip to South Africa for wine tourism, which we strongly encourage, may want to visit the Planning a Trip section of our website, http://www.silkbush.com. We have been growing wine grapes in the Western Cape for almost 10 years, and some 35 years in Napa and Sonoma; hate to say it, but South Africa is five times as stunning!
