Boplaas Cape White Port N/V

Brilliant golden colour with smoky/ honeyed/ nutty aromas with a fresh and fruity expression. Medium sweet on the palate, interacting with the spirit which in turn gives a superb structure to the wine.
With oxidative handling and good extract from prolonged skin maceration - making it a perfect aperitif when served chilled on its own, with ice or as a long drink 'Portonicâ' with a splash of tonic water and a slice of lemon.

Served cold as an aperitif or able accompaniment to roast pork loinstuffed with dried fruits and plum reduction. Alternatively serve ice-coldover crushed ice with a selection of canapés
