Description
“Traildust is thicker than blood,” – Louis L’Amour. This wine is Beyerskloof’s acknowledgement to every person who has been involved in the Pinotage journey, from vineyard to glass. This Cape Blend is a tribute to the legacy of Pinotage by uniting this unique South African cultivar with its heritage, Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.
Tasting note
A blend of 35% Pinotage, 32% Pinot Noir and 33% Cinsaut.
Generous amount of red fruit, cherries, and plum. A well-balanced wine with a juicy middle, well-rounded tannins, and a sweet fruit finish.
Vintage conditions
It was a cool, wet growing season that replenished the water reserves. Harvesting commenced the first week of February and ended the last week of March 2021. This harvest had some challenges with COVID-19 sale restrictions, lockdown, and some rain that made planning difficult. Overall, the quality of the wines shows lots of promise.
Food pairing: This wine is best served chilled (14°C) and combines well with duck, samosas, and Malayan curries.
Alcohol: 14.5% ABV
