Bright purple-black wine with garnet coloured rim; while the bouquet abounds with ripe black plum, peach, kirsch, sweet apricot, bramble, piquant spice, and hints of fynbos. The palate abounds with ripe apricot, peach, plum and black berry flavours; while the all-spices, wisps of liquorice and sumptuous cocoa after-taste entices the senses. This wine exhibits a deft balance between intense fruit flavours, supple tannins and exuberant spice that make it such a versatile and enjoyable style of Cape fortified wine.
Boplaas’s The Chocolate Cape Vintage can be served as an aperitif, digestive or partner to decadent chocolate based desserts, but this wine partners equally well with mature cheese, charcuterie, venison dishes, mildly spicy Indian or Cape Malay cuisine, and any full flavoured dishes of your liking.
