Beeslaar ‘The Sacrament’ 2022
R1,148.00
Abrie’s latest wine, a Cape Bordeaux blend. Deep ruby. Cassis, ripe red berries, dark chocolate, and tobacco aromas mingle with graphite and herbs. Bold, layered palate with balanced fruit and oak. Rich, dry, distinctly Beeslaar finish. Elegant and age-worthy.
60% Cabernet Sauvignon from Helderberg, 20% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot both from Banghoek vineyards. 30% whole-berry fermentation with a view to making the wine accessible earlier. Matured for 19 months in barrel, 100% new.

Description
Award-winning winemaker, Abrie Beeslaar, has been the winemaker at Kanonkop since 2002 and went solo in late 2024. His love of South Africa’s unique grape variety, Pinotage, led him to establish his own brand, Beeslaar, in 2011. ‘I guess one could argue that I didn’t pick Pinotage – instead, it picked me,’ says Abrie. Beeslaar is a family-run business, producing a single, high-end Pinotage and a Chardonnay. The grapes are sourced from a 2.5-hectare vineyard of old bush vines in the Simonsberg region and the wine produced is a true expression of its terroir.
