My Wine of the Month for March is Beeslaar 2018 Pinotage is from a single Stellenbosch vineyard. Sixty-two barrels were produced, a large increase on the 16 barrels of the maiden vintage, just four years in 2012.
I found a box of assorted bottles that had been missed when I had to move my wines to a new place, so this wine was shown as 'missing, presumed drunk' on Cellar Tracker.
I'd have probably opened it earlier so was delighted with this unexpected mature wine. And it was delightful, slight browning but full of luscious sweet fruit, no rough edges. Smooth, serious and a real credit to Abrie Beeslaar.
