Product information "Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve 2020"
Ink black in colour with a fiery garnet-red rim in the glass, the Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve pampers the palate with a stunningly complex bouquet of crushed blackberries, tart cranberry, cherry brandy and dark plums, as well as hints of fragrant spices and herbaceous fynbos. This exciting bouquet also unfolds seamlessly on the palate, where it ends with nuances of spicy liquorice, red fruit and a dark hint of cocoa in a dry finish. Further maturation will tame the fiery fruity lushness of this young Cape Vintage Port and unfold a stunning complexity.

Made from Portugal's most classic grape varieties, traditional vinification methods were used in the production of this fine Cape Vintage Port to create a Port style wine that remains true to its roots and can be enjoyed for decades. The grapes are hand-picked at optimal maturity and vinified in traditional "Lagares". During the fermentation process, the cap was regularly submerged in order to transfer an optimum of aromas, colour and tannin into the wine. After fermentation was completed, the wine was sprayed with alcohol. The wine matured for two years in large French oak barrels and was bottled unfiltered and unrefined.
