The current bottling of Cape Tawny NV from Boplaas comes billed as the “Veritas Wen Batch”, the wine achieving double gold at this year’s Veritas Awards, the competition run by industry body South African National Wine Show Association.
Typically matured for 10 to 12 years in 500-litre Portuguese pipes, this release shows orange, dried stone fruit, potpourri, nuts, cocoa and spice on the nose. The palate is linear, energetic and direct – not short of density but equally not too luscious, the finish dry and persistent. Refined and seamless, this offers extraordinary quality relative to price at R250 a bottle. Alc: 17.5%.
CE’s rating: 95/100.
