The year 2023 will be remembered for the many milestones it brought Boplaas. In addition to several new top-level awards, the family-owned winery expanded its wine and whisky portfolio and Garden Route tasting rooms. Made headlines not only at a major industry auction, but also thanks to the Rugby World Cup.

Rietvallei Estate is excited to be part of a dynamic new grouping of wine producers that should be a force in wine style development of the world’s most iconic white wine cultivar, Chardonnay, by expressing the essence of the Robertson region’s limestone rich soils under the banner Calcrete.

Pick n Pay unveiled their highly anticipated 2023 Christmas range in Salt River in Cape Town last Thursday, which is now in stores. The assortment of products is focused on incredible flavours and ingredients, with convenience, to emphasise how easy it is for customers to create moments of magic centred around good food and drinks this festive season.

Exactly ten years after the establishment of the wine estate Benguela Cove near Hermanus, it now triumphed by taking the standout Vertex award among 1 247 selected entries at the 2023 Veritas Awards with its 2019 Joie de Vivre Cap Classique.

The family-owned Boplaas has unveiled its latest single malt whisky, a unique expression showcasing not only a fine spirit but the farm’s legacy as a champion port-wine maker too. In producing the outstanding spirit, Boplaas becomes one of very few in the world to have aged a single malt in casks that once held port the winery had crafted itself.

The Boplaas name is synonymous with excellence. Included in its achievements, the family-owned winery has won almost as many Double Gold awards at Veritas – South Africa’s longest-running championship – as the 33-year-old show has been held. Much of this, it owes to its association with Portugal.

Boplaas wines were among the very best performers at the annual Veritas Wine & Spirits Awards, announced last weekend. The winery received one of the few double gold medals presented, and two golds.
