Simply the best! That’s a claim Boplaas family Vineyards in the Klein Karoo can certainly make without fear of contradiction after numerous awards over the years for its magnificent Cape port wines made from traditional Portuguese varieties. The latest accolade comes from the 2017 South African Wine Index (SAWi) Awards and goes to the Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve which has been rated the best in South Africa.

Confirming its status as one of the country’s premium Cape Port producers, Boplaas also garnered three platinum awards for its Cape Vintage Reserve, Cape Tawny and Cape Tawny Vintage Reserve, as well as a grand gold award for the Boplaas Cape Vintage.

An index is essentially an abstract mathematical principled construct applied to measure the performance of something. The South African Wine Index is such a result, a contrivance created to appraise and make a formal judgment on the quality of wine with the sole aim of identifying SA’s finest wines. Having in this way set a comparative value in wine quality judging, it highlights wines consistently recognized as exceptional.
