PINOTAGE 2020

Lagerung bis zu 7 Jahre. No need to decant before serving.   Although best known for their
deliciously vibrant and full-flavoured whites made from Chenin Blanc  the Beaumont estate also
produces limited quantities of red wines from the Pinotage grape. Pinotage was actually the
first wine made at Beaumont and this bottling is a stunning example of cool climate Pinotage
made from 45 year old vines. The grapes are vinified in concrete tanks and then aged in oak
barrels for 18 months to soften Pinotage’s notoriously firm tannins.  The result is a
well-built  intensely fruited red wine with ample dark berry and cherry character which lingers
on the tongue. The structure  fine balance  and subtle freshness of this wine make it an
excellent match for red meat and it will continue to develop and evolve if cellared over the
next decade or so.   Beaumont was founded in 1994 when Jayne and her late husband Raoul decided
to leave the local co-operative system to produce their own wines from start to finish. The
couple renovated the stunning property at Compagnes Drift which had formerly been an 18th
century outpost for the Dutch East India Company and began to bottle their wines here. Recently
the running of the estate has passed to Sebastian  the couple’s son  who has worked tirelessly
to establish a reputation for crafting exceptional wines.
