My Wine of the Month
for January is Beyerskloof Reserve 2005. This is a one-off bottling from the Groenkloof appellation.
Beyerskloof made a
small group of appellation specific bottlings that vintage for a European importer. Beyerskloof’s then
marketing manager made a presentation of them to my local wine tasting group
and we could place orders.
This is the last of
those I bought. It was graceful in its age after almost 14 years in the bottle,
showing lithe fruit with the exuberance of youth smoothed by the years.
It was fascinating to
compare different appellations; my favourites at that tasting were from Bottelary
and Groenkloof.
