This is a new wine from Beeslaar that is extremely well priced and allows everyone to try Abrie’s wines without shelling out quite as much as the flagship wine demands. It is similarly rich and concentrated, while also having bright acidity and solid structure.
“Pinotage is not for sissies”, words Jan Boland Coetzee will use to explain the challenges of Pinotage to other winemakers. It was these challenges and the exposure to great old vines baring unique grapes that started this love affair with Pinotage. If you are lucky enough to have the right terroir and put in the effort that Pinotage deserves, there is no wine more rewarding.
