Beyerskloof Lagare 2015 500ml

Pitch black with a Burgundy rim.The obvious spirit alcohol gives way to vibrant plum, dried fruit and spicy nut aromas on the nose. Strong upfront fruit with intense and solid core of black fruit, hints of plum pudding and liqourice, good acidity and balance. Unique, not typical port-like, rather exotic.

Our Lagare Cape Vintage ads a unique and exiting element to the versatility of Pinotage. A lush, strong and fruity-sweet fortified wine with great flavour and character. A lovely wine to relax with and sip slowly.

in the vineyard : Soil:  Hutton, Kroonstad
Trellising:  5 wire hedge

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand.

in the cellar : Colour extraction was done by stomping for two days by foot in the open air fermenters (Lagare in Portuguese). Fortification was done with pot distilled Pinotage brandy spirits to obtain good alcohol levels and a subtle sweetness that leave the palette dry. Aged for 14 months in old barrels/Stainless steel tanks and bottled unfiltered.
