Description
Boplaas’s signature blend of the Portuguese varietals. Darker than a moonless Karoo night, with a tinge of bright purple at the rim. Freshly tilled red earth, ripe apricots, fynbos, pepper and a hint of spirit on the bouquet. Good tannins with hints of fresh plum, sweet apricots, loads of liquorice and fynbos dominate the superbly structured palate. This Cape Vintage Reserve is the culmination of more than a quarter century’s Port making effort of the Nel family to create an almost flawless Cape Port that will age for more than four decades or so, if stored optimally. In a word sensational.
Food Pairing
Buxomly spiced, full fruited and tannic in its youth, this wine is artfully crafted for decades of development in bottle – if you wish to enjoy it in its youth, best decant and company with earthy rustic dishes, braised meat dishes, venison, fine hard cheeses, charcuterie, tapas and a selection of nuts, dried fruits or succulently sweet green figs. Alternately, cellar carefully and revel in the evolution of this testament to an unwavering dedication to crafting the finest Cape fortified.
