Information about "Boplaas Cape Vintage 2022"
The Boplaas Cape Vintage captivates with its deep, nearly black hue and intoxicating aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, violets, dark cherries, chocolate, and subtle pepper. A gentle blend of rum fruits and spices seduces the nose and palate alike. Its full-bodied structure boasts ripe tannins and layered complexities, offering a delightful tasting journey. The finish is lengthy, lingering elegantly. Produced from traditional varieties like Tinta Barocca, Souzao, and Touriga Nacional, this vintage embodies genuine sophistication.
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.
