15 Beeslaar Pinotage 2014 750ml 6 (1 x 6) R4 500 – 5 500 PROVENANCE Wine Cellar ITEM NOTES 3-time IWSC World Winemaker of the Year winner, and winemaker of iconic Kanonkop Estate, Abrie Beeslaar’s own label shot to early fame as one of the finest modern Pinotages to come out of the Cape. Abrie believes that ‘if you are lucky enough to have the right terroir and put in the effort that Pinotage deserves, there is no wine more rewarding’. This single vineyard Pinotage is a true testament of that. The 2014 is only the 3rd vintage since release and scored a whopping 96 points from Tim Atkin, who described it as ‘smooth, subtle and beautifully refined, with notes of blueberry and raspberry, fine tannins and a polished finish.’
