A consistent 4 star winner in Platter. This is still an elegant style of Pinotage with red berry and ripe fruit flavours with fine tannins and lovely fruit on the palate. Jancis Robinson wrote that the 2011 vintage was one of the best Pinotages she had ever tasted.
Beaumont Description
Jackals River Pinotage 2022 is a great expression of this style. At only 13.00% alcohol it is deliciously medium bodied. There are aromas of pure fruit; dark berries, mulberries and spice. Drink now, slightly chilled in the summer or over the next 10 to 15 years.
Pinotage was the very first wine made under the Beaumont label in 1994. Our oldest vines planted in 1974 still produce magnificent fruit and are key to making the medium bodied style of Pinotage we have become known for. Our style reflects the cooler climate of the Bot River region. Harvested between mid-February and mid-March the grapes are then crushed into open concrete fermenters. Punched down 3-4 times per day until end of ferment, then pressed and taken to barrel for 14 months and then taken to tank for another 8 months. Fresh red berry fruit with a deliciously drinkable medium body and wellintegrated tannins.
