Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree for making fine furniture. The Boekenhoutskloof label features seven chairs. The country-style 18th century split splat chair made in the neo-classical style with a shouldered top rail and thonged seat.

Then there’s the Sandveld chair that has two back rails and a thonged seat which made its appearance in the second quarter of the 19th century. The Tulbagh chair from the late 18th century, it has a plain back and a shaped top rail with half-round opening.

The chairs on the wine label all pay tribute to the skills of the 18th century craftsmen and their achievements in creating beauty from natural sources, just like the pursuit of fine wine-making.
