The name Bok Amok (Antelope Amok) is inspired by the chaos caused by Duiker antelope in the vineyards of the Swartland. These antelope have a particular affinity for Grenache Noir berries, often chewing the border vines down to nubs. In the glass, it’s translucent dark cherry red, like a gemstone catching the last light of the day. The nose hits you with wild red berries, candied raspberry, a touch of iron, floral fynbos, and a crack of black pepper. On the palate, it’s all about fresh red fruit, with suede-like tannins that grip and don’t let go. Raw, vibrant, and undeniably alive.
