'Scents of crushed purple violets, fruit cake, sweet tobacco and roasted espresso all dance on the nose of this intense yet layered red. It's rich and bold in feel, but not overdone, with a full palate of seductive dark-fruit flavors and framing tannins that produce a firm structure and chewy texture through the close. It's an infant now, but this classically styled Pinotage has lots of potential ahead of it, so hold until 2024 and enjoy through 2029 for added maturity and harmony.' (Tasted in 2020) - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 94/100

Producer information | Award-winning winemaker, Abrie Beeslaar, has been the winemaker at Kanonkop since 2002. His love of South Africa’s unique grape variety, Pinotage, led him to establish his own brand, Beeslaar, in 2011. ‘I guess one could argue that I didn’t pick Pinotage – instead, it picked me,’ says Abrie. Beeslaar is a family-run business, producing a single, high-end Pinotage. The grapes are sourced from a 2.5-hectare vineyard of old bush vines in the Simonsberg region and the wine produced is a true expression of its terroir. |
