Beeslaar Pinotage 2020

$100.00

If ever you had any doubts about the potential of Pinotage, the 2020 Beeslaar will put paid to them. From a 2.5 ha vineyard, dry grown, shale soils and old bush vines. Open top fermentation, followed by 20 months in French oak barriques. Very simple stuff, but the wine is far from simple. Intense aromas of blackberry, blood plum, mulberry and cassis. Rich and full bodied, remarkably elegant – svelte even, considering the size and power on offer. A compote of red and black fruits, baking spices, flowers, dark chocolate and Serrano. Tannins begin firm, yet are long and precise, holding the fruit on a perfectly level palate. Incredible wine. Waters Wine Co

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. 95 Points – Christian Eedes, winemag.co.za
