More about us

Tucked away in a fertile hamlet at the very edge of the Cape Winelands and at the heart of the Klein Karoo, one finds Boplaas Family Vineyards and the Nel family, whom since 1880, have tended vines and crafted wines in Calitzdorp.

Spirits have been distilled at Boplaas since 1880, when the first order of potstill brandy casks were sent to Cape Town by ox wagon for delivery to London. Today, Boplaas produces an extensive range of world class wines and specialises in Portuguese and Mediterranean varietal table wines and Cape Port style wine and spirits – including whisky, brandy and gin.

Boplaas thrives upon the involvement of the 6th generation of Nel’s that brings new energy and inspiration to the business. Rozanne heads-up Marketing, Margaux as Winemaker and Daniel as Distiller and Marketer.

In keeping with the biodiversity initiative, Boplaas has devoted 5000 ha exclusively to nature conservation objectives, while a portion of income generated by wine exports, is budgeted for conservation.
