The Boplaas Cape Tawny was produced from the typical grapes Tinta Barocca and Touriga Nacional. After many working steps it is stored in the barrel for at least 8 years. It flows fiery red-brown into the glass (the colour comes from the long stay in the barrel) and smells of roasted almonds and walnuts, honey, caramel, citrus fruit, a melange of spices and warm brandy nuances. On the palate, warm notes of fruit, toffee, rum pot, roasted nuts, honey and spices spread out - its wonderfully ground tannins ensure a round pleasure. The finish is soft and long lasting, the aftertaste of delicious fullness.

The grapes for the Boplaas Cape Tawny were harvested by hand at optimal ripeness and fermented and sprayed in traditional "lagares". The wine then matured for at least 8 years in large oak barrels.
