Boplaas, Chocolate Cape Vintage Port, 2010

Beskrivelse

Bright purple-black wine with garnet coloured rim, while the bouquet abounds with ripe black plum, peach, kirsch, sweet apricots, bramble, piquant spice and hints of fynbos. The palate abounds with ripe apricot, peach, plum and black berry flavours, while the all-spice, wisps of liquorice and sumptuous cocoa after-taste entices the sense. This wine exhibits a deft balance between intense fruit flavours, supple tannins and exuberant spice that make it such a versatile and enjoyable style of Cape fortified wine.
Tinta Barocca (70%) Touriga Nacional (30%)
Food suggestions:
Boplaas’s The Chocolate Cape Vintage can be served as an aperitif, digestive or partner to decadent chocolate based desserts, but this wine partners equally well with mature cheese, charcuterie, venison dishes, mildly spice Indian or Cape Malay cuisine and any full flavoured dishes of your liking.

Vinifikation:	Select old vine Tinta Barocca and Touriga Nacional is selected due to the distinctive cocoa after-taste in the wines crafted from these vineyards. All the fruit is hand harvest at optimum ripeness, fermented and fortified in small lagars, barrels matured in large seasoned oak barrels for 12 months to craft this distinctive full-bodied Cape Vintage. This approachable and versatile Vintage fortified wine can be served as an aperitif or digestive, but pairs well with full-flavoured dishes, desserts or as a component for a cocktail.
