Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Offering lifted aromatics with notions of incense and a floral component, there’s a touch of spice and earthiness to the dark cherry and dark plum notes on the nose. Medium fuller bodied this has engaging fruit purity and concentration with a sleek texture and finer tuned tannins to the juicy dark berry fruit flavors. This wine maintains its freshness and vibrancy and fleshes out with aeration suggesting that this will age beautifully over a good number of years.

Professional Ratings

91 Wine Spectator
A round and ripe red, with lightly mouthwatering acidity providing good energy and definition. Black cherry and black raspberry fruit, licorice, violet and loamy earth notes glide across the palate, layered with silky tannins.

Abrie Beeslaar, previously the winemaker at esteemed Stellenbosch property Kanonkop, now has his own label named Beeslaar. Abrie explains the Beeslaar property as being "about two kilometres from Kanonkop in the direction of Bottelary Road." Beeslaar wines are matured for 17 months in French oak, 50% new. Jamie Goode explained the Beeslaar Pinotage as being "one of the most profound interpretations of the often tricky Pinotage grape that you can imagine. It’s the Grand Cru Burgundy of Pinotages: structured, fresh, complex, ageworthy and elegant, despite its obvious concentration."
