Cape Winemakers Guild

Boplaas Cape Tawny Colheita 2007

100% Tinta Barocca
Wine of Origin Calitzdorp

  • The only wine on the auction that is not only expected to last at least 100 years, but is also perfect to drink now.
  • Carel Nel is devoted to the perseveration of succulent veld and owns more than      5 000 hectares of succulent veld.
  • Because of the veld, Boplaas has a negative carbon footprint, which means that Boplaas removes more carbon from the atmosphere than they emit.

Tasting Notes: Fiery red-brown tawny colour with flecks of olive green on the rim, the bouquet unfurls with walnut roast almonds, butterscotch, a melange of spices, citrus, warming brandy and charred oak notes.

Drink this wine now or keep for the next 100 years.

Winemaker: Carel Nel
