About this Item
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.
Made from low yielding Touriga Nacional and Tinta Barocca (36 year old vines), this wine is one of the finest Ports ever made at Boplaas. Bottled unfiltered in Portuguese Vintage port bottles. 30 cases of this wine were sold at the 2004 Auction.
Tasting Note: Rated as the best port in South Africa by Wine Magazine in 2004, this classic vintage Port has a deep black colour, lovely ripe tannins, firm grip, excellent balance, beautiful richness. Can be aged for 15 years and longer.
