A captivating new expression in Boplaas’s storied Cape Ports range, the Cape Vintage 2023 hails from unirrigated old-vine Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barocca, and Souzão in Calitzdorp. This rich, ruby-black fortified wine is matured for 12 months in Portuguese “pipes” and bottled unfiltered to showcase pure varietal and vintage character.
