Boplaas Family Reserve Ring of Rocks

The Boplaas Ring of Rocks Family Reserve from Boplaas Family Vineyards is an exceptional red wine that is only released in limited vintages and reflects the diversity and heritage of the Boplaas vineyards in the Cape. The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning, gently fermented in open cement fermenters and aged for 14 months in French oak barrels (1st and 2nd fill) before the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Deep maroon with a violet core, the wine seduces with aromas of ripe plums, cherries, blackberry jam, olive tapenade, fynbos and subtle notes of cocoa, mint and spices. On the palate, it displays elegant, still youthfully taut tannins and a complex, harmonious interplay of aromas.

The Boplaas Ring of Rocks Family Reserve is an ideal accompaniment to hearty meat dishes such as rack of lamb or Beef Wellington as well as mature cheese and charcuterie. Enjoy it at 16-18 °C, preferably slightly decanted.
