Matthew Jukes writing in MoneyWeek says of Beeslaar Pinotage 2018
Beeslaar has nothing but pristine, gloriously appointed, velvety fruit – it is shaped like a super Tuscan, built like a Cape(d) crusader and I know everyone who feels like me about this tricky grape will go nuts about this wine. Well done, Abrie – you are a veritable magician.
He also likes 2020 Radford Dale, Vinum Pinotage.
I agree with him that Abrie Beeslaar makes excellent Pinotage under his own label (and for Kanonkop).
But I wonder how much weight should be given to reviews of Pinotage by those who don't like - and thus rarely drink - the variety. When they find a well made example they think it is an exception, rather than today's norm.
