Boschkloof Kottabos Grenache Syrah

The Kottabos Grenache/Syrah from Boschkloof comes from the Polkadraai Hills near Stellenbosch. The vines grow on weathered granite soils; the wine, produced by Reenen Borman, is crafted as a Rhône-inspired cuvée, with Grenache making up the larger portion.

The winemaking process deliberately involves as little intervention as possible. The Grenache is fermented 100% as whole clusters in open fermentation tanks to preserve freshness and spice, while the Syrah is fermented after being fully destemmed, providing additional structure. The Grenache is then aged in concrete, and the Syrah in used French oak barrels. The two components are blended only later and bottled with minimal filtration.

On the nose, the Kottabos Grenache/Syrah is distinctly fragrant and inviting, with red berries, crushed cherries, and floral notes of violets and lavender. On the palate, juicy aromas of raspberry and red plum meet white pepper and the spicy, earthy notes of fynbos. This rather light-footed, finely structured wine possesses fresh, focused acidity and fine-grained tannins that give way to an elegant and pleasantly drinkable finish.

Thanks to its lively acidity and spicy character, the Kottabos pairs excellently with charcuterie, wood-fired pizza, and burgers. It also pairs well with roasted pork or poultry, mildly spiced dishes such as Thai curries, and hearty vegetarian cuisine. It can be served slightly chilled.

Boschkloof Kottabos Chenin Blanc Skin Contact
The Kottabos Chenin Blanc Skin Contact from Boschkloof is a Chenin Blanc from Stellenbosch in which skin contact is deliberately used during aging to enhance color, texture, and aromatic intensity. Boschkloof describes the wine as its own example of this style.In skin contact winemaking, the must remains in contact with the grape skins before pressing. This gives the wine a deeper golden color, more structure, and a slightly grippy character. The method particularly enhances the fruit and spice notes and lends the Chenin Blanc additional depth.On the nose, the wine is intense, with aromas of apple, quince, and dried apricot, complemented by notes of orange marmalade, orange zest, and dried herbs. On the palate, it combines juicy fruit with a fine, slightly grippy texture and pronounced aromatic depth. This dry wine has a longer, spicier, and increasingly hearty finish.Thanks to its structure and aromatic intensity, the Kottabos Chenin Blanc Skin Contact is particularly well-suited to dishes with bold flavors and distinct textures. It pairs well, for example, with spicy lamb, tagines, charcuterie, or aged Cheddar.
