One of the finest vintages in the Cape’s modern history.
Intense aromatics of cherries, plums, banana, boiled sweets, oak-derived notes
of vanilla and spice, plus hints of tilled earth. The palate has great fruit density
and extraction, with sweet fruit notes which are off-set by the grippy, yet fine
tannins. Impeccable balance between oak and fruit defines a wine with savoury
tones on the lengthy finish.

Award-winning winemaker, Abrie Beeslaar, has been the winemaker at Kanonkop since 2002 and due to go solo in late 2024. His love of South Africa’s unique grape variety, Pinotage, led him to establish his own brand, Beeslaar, in 2011. ‘I guess one could argue that I didn’t pick Pinotage – instead, it picked me,’ says Abrie. Beeslaar is a family-run business, producing a single, high-end Pinotage. The grapes are sourced from a 2.5-hectare vineyard of old bush vines in the Simonsberg region and the wine produced is a true expression of its terroir.
