2020 Beeslaar Pinotage

The 2020 Beeslaar Pinotage is a stunning example of what this controversial grape can achieve.

Abrie Beeslaar’s passion for Pinotage is rooted in his upbringing in Worcester and honed through years at top vineyards like Kanonkop. This small, family-run winery in the Cape Winelands focuses on producing high-end, single-vineyard wines that truly reflect their unique terroir.

This vintage showcases a deep ruby-red hue with captivating aromas of black fruits, dark chocolate, and a hint of cinnamon spice. The palate is rich with flavours of cranberries and raspberries, supported by finely grained tannins that give it a robust yet elegant structure. Aged in 40% new oak for 20 months, it's certainly not shy of richness and texture!

One of South Africa's leading Pinotage wines and a must-try for anyone looking to see the best of the variety.

"Deep ruby-red colour, with brooding aromas of black fruits, dark chocolate, savoury meats and a touch of cinnamon spice. The finely grained tannins add a muscular structure to the wine, and is beautifully supported by a plush red fruit profile, with flavours of cranberries and raspberries. The hallmark elegance, balance and the long, dry finish completes a luxurious wine."
