Made from the classical Portuguese Port varieties 50% Tinta Barocca, 45% Touriga Naçional and 5% Souzao. Boets uses unmatured brandy spirit for the fortification and then matures the wine for a year in oak casks. 50% of it in 500 litre barrels and the remainder in 4500 litre vats.
So you land up with a medium bodied wine, all fruit and spice and Christmas pudding flavours with a beautifully balanced sweetness.
It’s a great glass after dinner, while watching the Soccer while whittling on some biltong. Be a devil and use it as a cooler by mixing it half and half with tonic or lemonade.
I had the tonic version in Oporto made
