WINE DESCRIPTION

Beaumont Pinotage is a premium red wine produced by Beaumont Wines in the Bot River appellation of South Africa. The vineyard is situated on a cool-climate hillside, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development. The winemaking process involves handpicking the grapes and fermenting them in open-top tanks, followed by aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Pinotage, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and cheese platters. Overall, Beaumont Pinotage is a must-try for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality South African red wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Beaumont Pinotage is a boldly flavored red wine that shows bright aromas of dark berries, plums, and red cherries.On the palate, the wine is juicy with a silky texture and flavors of cedar, earth, and black pepper. The finish is long and elegant, with hints of spice and a refreshing acidity. Enjoy now or cellar for a few more years to let the layers of complexity develop further.
