Celebrate the ninth release of this “no-rules” white blend with the exceptional Beaumont New Baby 2023. Winemaker Sebastian Beaumont crafts this vintage using three of the farm’s oldest white vineyards. These Chenin Blanc vines date back to 1974. This specific 2023 edition uniquely features a trio of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Colombar. You will discover a wine that prioritizes site identity and vintage character over a fixed formula. Every 750ml bottle offers a fascinating glimpse into the rugged, cool-climate terroir of the Bot River region.
The nose reveals an energetic bouquet of lime, green apple, and white peach with subtle hints of honey. You will enjoy a beautiful tension between creamy texture and racy, assertive acidity on the palate. The wine matured for twelve months in mostly older 400-litre French oak barrels. This process ensures elegant integration without overpowering the fruit. You can pair this complex white beautifully with grilled scallops, spicy Asian dishes, or aged goat cheese. While delicious now, it possesses the structure to age gracefully for up to fifteen years.
This Beaumont New Baby 2023 continues a legacy of excellence and earns high praise from respected wine critics. Tim Atkin MW awarded the vintage a stellar 94 points for its racy and acid-driven nature. Christian Eedes also gave it 93 points, noting its concentrated and luscious character. The wine consistently secures 4.5 stars in Platter’s South African Wine Guide. You will appreciate the depth and heritage found in every glass of this artisanal blend.
