DESCRIPTION
Beeslaar Pinotage 2021 is a Pinotage from Simonsberg (Stellenbosch), sourced from a 2.5-hectare vineyard at an altitude of 200m, featuring 30-year-old bush vines grown on shale soils. Aged for 20 months in 225L French oak barrels (50% new), it displays 14.5% alcohol and 2.4 g/L of residual sugar. Created by Abrie Beeslaar, the former cellarmaster of Kanonkop.
On the nose, delicious notes of red and black fruits, supported by nuances of oak spices and tobacco leaf. On the palate, voluptuous and powerful with an elegant and long finish. Ideal with a grilled duck breast or a beef tenderloin.
REGION
Stellenbosch
South Africa
Stellenbosch is arguably the most prestigious wine region in South Africa. Located in the coastal region of the Western Cape, east of Cape Town, it enjoys a Mediterranean climate tempered by sea breezes and sheltered by the surrounding mountains. Its varied terroir of granite, schist and sandy soils makes it possible to produce both powerful reds and elegant whites.
While Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends (with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) built its reputation, Stellenbosch is also known for its refined Chenin Blanc, distinguished Chardonnay and expressive Syrah. Home to many iconic estates, the appellation remains a showcase of South African craft.
