Boplaas shines at Nederburg Auction

Boplaas Family Vineyards in Calitzdorp performed exceptionally well at the 42nd Nederburg Auction, which was held the past weekend in Paarl at the Nederburg Wine Estate.

The Boplaas Cape Tawny Port 1995 scored top price of R6000 per case (R500 per 375ml) at the auction. This 1995 Tawny received a gold medal at Veritas en 4 ½ stars in Platter Wine Guide.

A true testament to their patience and craftsmanship, the Boplaas Cape Tawny Port 1995 is a 17 year old Tawny crafted from Tinta Barocca and Touriga Nacional and, matured in old 500L port ‘pipes’ (from the Portuguese word for barrel, pipa). This lusciously complex fortified with its amber colour, heady aromatics and nutty flavor profile offers those lucky enough to broach a bottle or two the opportunity to taste a rare fine example of the Boplaas Cape Tawny.
