Beeslaar Pinotage 2020 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R570
‘Deep ruby-red colour, with brooding aromas of black fruits, dark chocolate, savoury meats and a touch of cinnamon spice. The finely grained tannins add a muscular structure to the wine, and is beautifully supported by a plush red fruit profile, with flavours of cranberries and raspberries. The hallmark elegance, balance and the long, dry finish completes a luxurious wine.’ – Beeslaar

‘2019 was a tricky vintage in Stellenbosch, but you wouldn’t know it from the quality of this red, made by Pinotage master, Abrie Beeslaar. Intense, structured and serious, with lots of grip, blackberry and red berry flavours, firmish tannins, smoky oak and the concentration and complexity to age in bottle. 2023-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2021, 95/100
‘Substantial 2019 more opulent, less blockbuster than 2018 (92 pts) in its dark-fruit & Xmas cake richness, underfelt of ripe tannin. Black cherry, plum & mulberry, cinnamon-spiced by 50% new oak, firm yet polished structure. Great persistence. For keeping, especially in magnum.’ – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (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. |
