With a history firmly rooted in the winelands of the Cape, the first vines were planted in the virgin soil of the beautiful Franschhoek valley more than 350 years ago.

Since then, generations of Bellingham winemakers have toiled the earth, nurtured the vines and carefully crafted wines of great diversity and character.

The Bellingham tradition has always boldly pioneered new trends to stay at the cutting-edge of crafting fine wines, yet we have always remained true to the call for stylish, accessible and well-balanced wines...

The farm of Boekenhoutskloof was originally granted to Huguenot settlers in 1776 and lies in the far corner of the Franschhoek valley, situated eighty kilometers northeast of Cape Town.

For two hundred years it remained in the same family. Over the two centuries they engaged in agricultural activities as diverse as tobacco, fruit, cattle and ultimately wine production.

The name "Boekenhoutskloof", meaning "Ravine of the Boekenhout", refers to Cape Beech, a hardwood tree indigenous to Franschhoek and once prized for furniture making. The use of chairs on our label pays tribute to the skills of the 18th century craftsmen and their endeavour in creating beauty from natural sources - just like wine.

The farm and homestead was bought and immaculately restored in 1993 by a partnership of enthusiasts committed to the future of South Africa.

Boekenhoutskloof is a Syrah specialist, with its premium range selling out on release each vintage. The Chocolate Block, a Syrah based blend, is probably the most successful new offering to come out of SA in the modern era.
