Dear *|FNAME|*,
Following in the footsteps of Pinotage pioneers Jan Boland Coetzee and Beyers Truter, Abrie Beeslaar has established himself as the new master. Is there any winemaker more versed in coaxing magic from our own red grape?
The Beeslaar Pinotage 2021 has all the poise of previous releases, with seamless red and black fruits, judicious oaking and ethereal elegance. 2021 is expected to rival 2015 and 2017 as the greatest modern vintage and this is evident in this release’s extra purity, depth, and exceptionally fine tannins. Pinotage has proven that it can age gracefully for decades, and this sumptuous wine is sure to do just that.

From a Simonsberg single vineyard planted in 1993 in oak leaf, shale and decomposed granite soils, the wine is destemmed, fermented in concrete, and raised in French Oak for 19 months – 50% new. This is one of the finest Pinotages from Abrie to date.

Tasting notes
Beeslaar Pinotage 2021
‘According to Beeslaar, more refinement and that does indeed seem to be the case. The nose red and black cherry, floral perfume, chocolate and spice while the palate is not massively full-bodied, the wine carrying its alcohol of 14.5% well. It would be an exaggeration to describe this as “energetic”, but it certainly has purity and a real brightness about it while the tannins are fine, the finish long and dry. A very stylish, seamless offering. Matured for 19 months in French oak, of which just about 50% was new.’ – 95/100, Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za
