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.

She awards the Shiraz from the Cape 4 out of 5 stars in John Platter's Wine Guide.The bouquet combines intensely fruity notes of blackcurrants and cherries with spicy notes of black and white pepper and leather.

Springfield Life From Stone Sauvignon Blanc
The Life from Stone Sauvignon Blanc from Springfield Estate in Robertson, South Africa, is an impressive example of the region's exceptional minerality. On the estate's extremely stony quartz soils, the vines thrive in challenging conditions, giving the wine its characteristic pebbly, mineral expression. Every step in the vineyard reflects the meticulous handiwork of Springfield Estates: the planting of the older vines required monumental efforts, sometimes even the use of dynamite, to penetrate the hard rock.The vines are planted on a gently south-facing slope with 6060 vines per hectare. The climate is characterized by moderate summers with cool nights and cold winters, while the southeast wind in summer ensures healthy, aromatic grapes. These grapes are harvested at night and immediately protected with dry ice to preserve their freshness and fine aromas. Before bottling, only a 2.5-micron filtration is carried out - a gentle treatment that preserves the natural freshness and complexity of the wine.Intense minerality meets fresh citrus and green apple notes, which are typical of Sauvignon Blanc. On the palate, the white wine has a powerful, concentrated body, fine elegance and a long, lively finish.Perfect with grilled vegetables, goat's cheese, light pasta dishes with herb or lemon sauces and fresh salads. Particularly delicious with seafood such as prawns or scallops. Served at 8-10 °C, the Life from Stone Sauvignon Blanc reveals its full aroma.
