Boplaas 8 Citrus Gin 750ml
Boplaas Family Vineyards is a multi-generational producer in Calitzdorp, a region better known for wines and craft whisky than for gin. With the launch of Boplaas 8 Citrus Gin, distiller Danie Nel brings innovation to the estate’s spirits range, marrying traditional gin craft with South Africa’s exuberant citrus diversity. Distilled in small batches, this gin showcases a distinctive botanical lineup built around eight different citrus fruits - a bright, bold expression of local produce and artisan distillation that feels both fun and remarkably balanced.
Appearance: Clear and crystalline in the glass, typical of well-made London-style gin.
Nose: Fresh and lively with a dominant floral juniper lift followed by vibrant citrus - orange, lemon and grapefruit - setting a bright aromatic tone.
Palate: Bold citrus zest character drives the palate, with juicy tangerine and lime sweetness balanced by a gentle earthiness from blood orange. The spicy juniper framework keeps it firmly in classic gin territory while the citrus blend adds depth and energy.
Finish: Long, clean and citrus-tinged - lemon and orange peel linger, making every sip inviting.
- Food Pairing : Boplaas 8 Citrus Gin is wonderfully versatile. Enjoy it neat with a splash of water or over a large ice cube to appreciate its citrus complexity and juniper backbone, or mix it with quality tonic water and a twist of grapefruit and orange zest for a refreshing G&T. Its bright, layered citrus profile also makes it an excellent base for citrus-forward cocktails like a South-style Gin Fizz or an aromatic Citrus Negroni, where the sweet-sour interplay and vibrant botanicals can shine.
- Drink before: Best enjoyed now; gin doesn’t generally benefit from extended ageing once bottled.
