Information about "Boplaas Cape Vintage 2022"
The Boplaas Cape Vintage reveals a deep, almost inky-purple hue, exuding aromatics of ripe blackberries, plums, violets, dark cherries, chocolate, and subtle peppery notes. A delicate touch of rum-soaked fruits and spices caresses both the nose and palate. Its full-bodied structure features ripe tannins and intricate complexities, making for an alluring experience. The finish is long-lasting, lingering beautifully on the palate. Crafted from classic port varieties such as Tinta Barocca, Souzao, and Touriga Nacional, this vintage showcases true character and finesse.
Following fermentation in traditional lagars, the wine aged for 12 months in oak. Selection of 30+ year old vines enhances the characteristic cocoa notes found in these vineyards.
