Beyerskloof Kriekbult 2023

Product Info

Paying homage to our Kriekbult farm, our first site-specific Pinotage has been produced from 27-year-old Pinotage bush vines. The vineyards utilised for this wine produce a distinctive style, expressing the unique characteristics of well-aged Pinotage.

Characteristics Lauds of black fruit flavours from blackberries to cassis with balanced oak aromas from barrel maturation. A wine with excellent balance, a lovely core, and a long, juicy aftertaste. 

Wine making 4 days in open fermenters with the cap punched through by hand every two hours. Fermentation temperature was between 25 – 28°C. Aer malolactic fermentation, the wine matured in 30% new and 70% second fill barrels for 18 months. 

Food pairing This wine will pair well with honey-glazed pork ribs or a meat lover's pizza. A wine that will develop well for 10 years or longer. 

Aromas Upfront black fruit with lively aromas of oak and hints of chocolate on the finish
