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
Vibrant crimson-red hue, with aromatic hints of cranberry, raspberry, crème de cassis, and macerated cherries, complemented by subtle undertones of oak spice, tobacco leaf, and Fynbos shrub. The palate is opulent, decadent, with a framework of succulent plum and black cherry flavours enhanced by French oak, fragrant spices, and a rustic herbal hint. The wine presents a variety of flavours, including rich chocolate, wild berries, and exotic spices, all complemented by a subtle and harmonious oak influence that lingers on the finish. A wine that possesses the ability to age, exhibits complexity, and exudes elegance.
