”winemakers comments: franschhoek’s first semillon vineyards were planted in 1902 on the alluvial soils of the franschhoek riverbed with its high loam content. In 1942 there were more plantings on the sandy sites slightly further away from the river. These two block of bushvines are planted 1. 4m x 1. 4m and both yielded 5. 4ton/ha. For the past three years boekenhoutskloof also started experimenting with a block of semillon down the road planted in 1936 with an even higher percentage of semillon gris (12%). This site is at 380m above sea level and faces se which captures more natural acidity. This component was only used in the boekenhoutskloof semillon since 2013. The skin:pulp ratios of these old bushvines result in wines that are intensely complex well-structured and have an unbelievable aging potential. Harvest started about one week later than average with the 1936 and 1942 blocks being harvested on february 13th and the 111 year old vineyard ripening exactly one week later. Th
