Boplaas Cape Tawny Port NV

Complex with nutty, caramel and chocolate/orange tones. Sleek, balancing candied peel tang and spirit. Long and lingering aftertaste that just keeps getting better.

Best serve ice cold in the summer with ice cream, or in front of a fireplace with a gorgonzola blue cheese platter and preserved green figs. Cape Tawny Port can be served as a nightcap after a meal or as an aperitif as the guests arrive.
