About this Item

2009 CWG Cape Vintage Auction Reserve
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Multiple award-winning 6th generation producer owned by the Nel family, who established the Calitzdorp district in the Klein Karoo and gradually built it to world-wide fame for the quality of its Port-styled wines produced outside of the Duoro valley. Cape Wine Master and Cape Winemakers Guild member, Carel Nel, is extremely knowledgeable about the category of Port, and is crafting (now along with the next generation) a consistently brilliant style of fortifieds from authentic Portuguese varieties that adapt well to this warm and dry region.

Sold on auction in 2013, the ’09 is a barrel selection of the Platter 5* Vintage Reserve described as “another brilliant and age-worthy vintage expression”, fermented and fortified in small lagares, barrel matured in large seasoned oak barrels for 12 months.
