"Picked early in a warm year, this is a fitting tribute to the end of Abrie Beeslaar’s distinguished tenure at Kanonkop. Sourced from a single block planted in 1953, it’s always one of the most structured, age-worthy Pinotages on the market, with a proven track record. The new Burgundian oak is very well-integrated here, adding some subtle aromatic spice notes to a palate of blackberry, fig and liquorice supported by grippy, nicely integrated tannins. 2028-38" – Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2026, 97 points

On the palate

Plum and blackberry lead into lavender, mocha and perfumed floral notes. The palate is full-bodied and intensely concentrated, with soft velvety tannins and a long, toasty finish. For drinkers who like serious Pinotage with deep fruit, polished new oak and decades of ageing potential, this is firmly in that lane.
