About this Item

2007 Cape Tawny Colheita
36 (6 x 6) 750ml

“Good wine is made with good grapes, so everything starts in the vineyard.” - Carel Nel

100% Tinta Barocca

• The only wine on the auction that is not only expected to last at least 100 years, but is also perfect to drink now.
• Carel Nel is devoted to the perseveration of succulent veld and owns more than 5 000 hectares of succulent veld.
• Because of the veld, Boplaas has a negative carbon footprint, which means that Boplaas removes more carbon from the atmosphere than they emit.

Tasting Notes: Fiery red-brown tawny colour with flecks of olive green on the rim, the bouquet unfurls with walnut roast almonds, butterscotch, a melange of spices, citrus, warming brandy and charred oak notes.

Drink this wine now or keep for the next 100 years.
