Boekenhoutskloof's world-class Semillon uses grapes from three distinct blocks in Franschhoek, planted in 1902, 1936 and 1942, combining these with 3% Muscat d'Alexandrie. Showing more acidity and restraint than the stunning 2020, and less of the struck match character, it has notes of lemongrass, custard and beeswax and a core of chiselled acidity. Needs more time. 2024-32

Subtle yet beautifully intense aromas of apricot skin, lemon balm, and white citrus, with a touch of white miso umami character. Vibrant and vividly fresh with a saline minerality, tangerine pith, and frangipane on the palate. The true potential of this wine always unfolds with bottle age, but it is already showing significant textural complexity, and a slightly waxy, grippy finish, which I love. Elegant and quite racy this vintage. 2024-45. 95pts Victoria Mason, Bordeaux Index

Enticing, delicately spiced nose. Fresh ginger, acacia, lemongrass, dried pineapple, and white grapefruit pith. Some mealy, white sesame, and miso complexity. Fine boned texture, lovely citrus pith bitterness, citrus and some stone fruits. Focused, saline and deliciously bitter finish. 95pts Robert Mathias, Bordeaux Index

Blended with 3% Muscat d'Alexandria, it has a delineated, lanolin-tinged bouquet with a hint of green olive. The palate is beautiful, waxy in texture, with veins of lemongrass and lemon thyme, detailed and poised with impressive concentration on the finish. This will be a serious, long-term Semillon, and I know from first-hand experience how brilliantly they can age in bottle. This will be released in 2024. 2025-50
