BEAUMONT Jackals River Pinotage

Pinotage was the very first wine made at Beaumont wines and 30 years later we are still passionate Pinotage producers! 80% of the fruit comes from our 48-year-old vines providing dryness and structure while the younger portion provides lovely vibrant fruit. 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 18 months and then taken to tank for another 8 months. Fresh red berry fruit with a deliciously drinkable medium body and well-integrated tannins.
