Boplaas Tinta Barocca 2022
Nestled at the foot of the Swartberg foothills in the Klein Karoo, Boplaas Family Vineyards has carved a distinctive niche in South African wine by celebrating Portuguese grape varieties alongside its fortified wine heritage. Established as a sixth-generation family operation, the estate’s vineyards thrive in arid, low-vigor soils that suit varieties like Tinta Barocca - first planted here by happy accident and championed ever since - and produce wines that balance ripe fruit with spice and structure. Hand-harvesting and traditional open-ferment techniques, followed by careful ageing in seasoned oak, ensure wines like this varietal Tinta Barocca speak clearly of their Calitzdorp origin and Boplaas’s commitment to craft.
Colour:
Medium ruby with youthful luminosity, hinting at red fruit intensity.
Nose:
A lively bouquet of ripe plum and mulberry is lifted by notes of juicy raspberry jam, bright spice and a characteristic whisper of cocoa-powder-like complexity that hints at the varietal’s Portuguese lineage.
Palate:
Medium-bodied and aromatic, the palate delivers red and dark fruit core flavours - plum, bramble and raspberry - supported by soft, supple tannins and lightly savoury spice. The oak-ageing adds gentle warmth and complexity without overshadowing the fruit.
Finish:
Clean and approachable, the finish returns spice and fruit, leaving a touch of cocoa and soft grip that invites another sip.
- Food Pairing : Boplaas Tinta Barocca 2022 is a rewarding match for hearty fare with rustic character. Think slow-braaied oxtail or beef stews where the wine’s plum and spice core complements rich meatiness, or a chargrilled venison loin with pepper sauce where its vibrant fruit can stand up to game-driven flavours. Grilled peri-peri chicken or roasted mushroom and lentil pithivier make excellent partners too - the acidity brightening the palate and the soft tannic grip balancing savoury richness on the plate.
- Drink before: Drink now–2026/2027. Approachable young with textural appeal, though a little short-term bottle age will soften edges and integrate spice notes.
