The Boplaas Red Muscadel comes from the traditional Boplaas wine estate, which has been closely associated with the production of high-quality Muscat wines since the mid-19th century. This grape variety, Muscat de Frontignan, forms the historical basis of the South African Muscat tradition and is at the heart of Boplaas wine production. Only in exceptional vintages are the grapes from low-yielding, selected vineyards harvested by hand and processed into this characterful Red Muscadel.

The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning, pressed in traditional lagares and left on the skins for three days, with intensive manual pigeages. The natural fermentation is stopped by spraying, which releases the complex variety of aromas that characterize the Boplaas Red Muscadel.

In the glass, it is a bright crimson red and captivates with aromas of cranberry, mulberry, fresh strawberry jam, jasmine, rooibos and the typical nutmeg spice. It is full-bodied on the palate, with lively acidity and a harmonious, refreshing finish.

Enjoy the Boplaas Red Muscadel slightly chilled at 10-12 °C with duck or pork dishes, traditional Cape Malay or Cantonese cuisine, with spicy desserts or on its own as an elegant aperitif.

The Boplaas Cape Hanepoot is made from low-yielding Hanepoot vines that were planted around thirty years ago by Oupa Danie Nel, the father of the current winemaker.

After enrichment with fine wine distillate, the young Hanepoot matures for six months in stainless steel tanks before being carefully blended and bottled.In the glass, it shines lemon yellow with a lime green rim. Intense aromas of ripe muscatel grapes, pineapple, lemon peel and lychee unfold on the nose, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a hint of spice. On the palate, the Boplaas Cape Hanepoot is deliciously sweet, fresh and harmonious with notes of honey, raisins, melon, fig leaf and citrus marmalade, supported by lively acidity and a hint of minerality in the finish.Serve this versatile liqueur wine slightly chilled at 10-12 °C as an aperitif or digestif, with spicy dishes from Indian or Thai cuisine, roast duck or pork, but also with fruity desserts, malva pudding or mild soft cheeses.
