Boplaas Nel Family Reserve Alvarinho 2024

Boplaas has unveiled its maiden vintage Alvarinho.  A South African specialist of Portuguese varieties Boplaas planted the white grape at its Calitzdorp farm where the drier climate ensures top quality.

Alvarinho is traditionally grown in northwest Portugal and Galicia, the coastal region of Spain where it is known as Albarinho.  Calitzdorp has a similar Mediterranean climate, where the variety ripens early during harvest season.

This maiden vintage showcases green citrus, nectarine, Pampelmoes and chalky saline finish which whets the appetite for fresh seafood, alfresco dining or simply sip chilled as an aperitif watching the sunset.
