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.

Babylonstoren Shiraz
This impenetrable ruby red Shiraz (Syrah) from South Africa is fruity and impressively fresh. At the same time, it impresses with a fine spiciness thanks to its long maturation in oak. Wine critic Christine Rudman was also impressed by the Babylonstoren Shiraz. 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. The bouquet is underpinned by perfectly harmonizing woody notes. Rudman chooses these words: "Wonderfully perfumed, elegant berries and cherries, mixed spices with white pepper."The Babylonstoren Shiraz is dry on the palate, with a full body and supple, masterfully integrated tannins. The aromatic complexity is wonderful: flavours of cherries, plums and blackcurrants in fine interplay with nuances of chocolate and an underlying spiciness. The velvety mouthfeel and long-lasting finish round off the flavour experience. Rudman: ‘The 2020 surprises with a streamlined body, juicy & supple.’This South African Shiraz was matured in oak for a total of 18 months. Babylonstoren used 70% new and 30% second-fill French oak barrels (300 litres) for this high-quality Syrah. This red wine is a guarantee of enjoyment until 2030.Enjoy this creation from Babylonstoren, located between Paarl and Stellenbosch, at a drinking temperature of 16 to 18 degrees.
