Boplaas<br />
Nestled in the picturesque Klein Karoo<br />
hamlet of Calitzdorp, Boplaas is owned<br />
by the Nel family who have tended vines<br />
and endeavoured to craft exceptional<br />
wines since the 1800s, with their very first<br />
export consignment of Cape potstill brandy<br />
being sent to London in 1880. Since then,<br />
the Nels of Boplaas have built a legacy<br />
synonymous with the finest Cape Ports,<br />
fortified Muscats, Cape potstill brandy and<br />
world-class red and white table wines.<br />

Crafted in lagares from a trio of traditional<br />
Douro varietals in the classic ‘drier’ Vintage<br />
style, this inky black wine with its plum, ripe<br />
apricot, intense black hedgerow fruit, fynbos,<br />
liquorice nuances and melange of spice<br />
nuances, accompanied by the impenetrable<br />
tannins and sublime fruit structure, will reward<br />
patient cellaring over the next four decades<br />
or so. Bottled unfined and unfiltered and<br />
best decanted prior to enjoying with hearty<br />
traditional fare, venison dishes or decadent<br />
desserts.
