Boplaas Family Vineyards Winery Description Location and History Boplaas Family Vineyards in Calitzdorp has a rich history dating back to 1880 when the Nel family bought the farm and started producing brandy for export in England. In those days, taxes could be paid with brandy. After the repeal of distilling licenses in the early 1920s, their copper potstill lay dormant for nearly 70 years until it was fired up again in 1989. Since then, Boplaas has expanded its distillation to include gin and whisky, utilising a new still nicknamed The Falcon. Today, Boplaas offers a wide range of products, including brandy, whisky, gin, sparkling and fortified wines. In the 1970's Tinta Barocca vines were planted, mistaking them for Shiraz. This fortunate accident led to the discovery of the region's suitability for Portuguese grapes. Their Portuguese collection features single varietals and blended wines showcasing the potential and diversity of traditional Portuguese varieties grown in the Cape. Carel Nel, fifth generation, joined the business in 1980 as winemaker and built the current cellar.
