Beeslaar Wines
Starts with Prof Isak Perold that crossed Pinot Noir and Cinsaut in 1924. I did not pick Pinotage, it picked me. Starting my career at Swartland Winery working with 3000 tons of Pinotage, and later moving to Kanonkop where it is still 50% of the plantings I work with. I have been working with the Beeslaar Pinotage vineyard for the last 17 years, and in 2011 my wife, Jeanne, and I, decided that this site needs a voice, and that is Beeslaar Pinotage.
Description
Concentrated aromas of black cherries, Christmas cake, wild strawberries, plums and cinnamon spice. The nose has that typical Beeslaar perfumed character, with an underlying earthy tone. Beautifully poised and elegant, with fine tannins to support the broad, plush fruit spectrum. The palate is mouth-filling and effortlessly balanced, with lingering savoury notes on the finish.
Food Pairing
Beef, Game (deer, venison), Poultry
