DESCRIPTION
Beaumont Cape Vintage 2018 (375ml) is a Port-style wine crafted in the Beaumont fashion, sourced from a blend of Tinta Barocca and Pinotage from approximately 45-year-old vines on the shale soils of Bot River. Harvested at high sugar levels (25 to 26° Balling), foot-crushed in open-top fermenters, and then fortified early, it is aged for over 36 months in ullaged French oak barrels. It displays 17% alcohol and 67.4 g/L of residual sugar.
On the nose, intense aromas of candied black fruits (blackberry, blueberry), sweet spices, and cinnamon. On the palate, rich and structured, dense and warming, with prominent yet integrated tannins, and a long finish on black fruit and spices. Pairs beautifully with a chocolate fondant or aged cheeses.
REGION
Walker Bay
South Africa
On the south coast of the Western Cape, Walker Bay is one of the coolest and most renowned wine regions in South Africa. Bathed in sea air and sheltered by the surrounding mountains, it enjoys a temperate climate ideal for wines of great finesse.
Walker Bay is a paradise for delicate grapes: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay find their balance in the hills of Hemel en Aarde (Valley, Ridge, Upper), while Bot River stands out for its saline, vibrant Chenin Blanc. With brilliant light, varied soils and a temperate climate, the region shapes wines that are elegant, pure and intensely expressive.
Recommended for you:
A sweet wine that ignites the palate: candied fruits, spices, and a beautifully managed warmth.
