Beaumont Jackals River Pinotage 750ml

The Beaumont Jackals River Pinotage is a refined, medium-bodied expression of South Africa’s signature grape. This 750ml bottle comes from the cool-climate Bot River region. The Beaumont family are pioneers who favour finesse over power in their Pinotage. Grapes are hand-harvested from a mix of older and younger bush vines. The oldest vines were planted in 1974, providing dryness and structure. Traditional fermentation occurs in open concrete vats. This method ensures gentle extraction of color and tannin.

• Cool-Climate Style: The Bot River region produces a notably elegant, mid-weight Pinotage.
• Tasting Profile: Features pure, bright fruit like ripe cherry, plum, and redcurrant. Notes of spice and earth are beautifully layered.
• Top Acclaim: Vintages consistently receive strong scores, including 92 Points from Tim Atkin MW and 91 Points from Robert Parker (for the 2022 vintage).
• Aging Potential: Displays fine tannins and freshness, allowing it to age for 8 to 15 years.

Beaumont Jackals River Pinotage is aged in French oak barrels to manage its tannins beautifully. The palate is silky, fresh, and savory. It maintains the house style of focused restraint. This wine is a superb match for grilled lamb or classic South African dishes.
