Reserve

2006 Western Cape Pinotage

Beyerskloof Reserve is a stunning red wine crafted from the Pinotage varietal, hailing from the renowned Western Cape region of South Africa. This 2006 vintage showcases a deep, inviting color that hints at its richness. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience, harmoniously balancing bright acidity with prominent fruit intensity, where luscious notes of dark berries and plum take center stage. The tannins are firm yet approachable, adding structure without overpowering the wine's vibrant character. With a delightful mid-palate complexity, this wine maintains a dry finish, making it an exceptional partner for grilled meats or savory stews. The Beyerskloof Reserve stands as a true testament to the unique terroir of the Western Cape, promising an enjoyable journey for any wine enthusiast.

Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.
