Beyerskloof6x Pinotage Reserve 2021

About
It was 30 years back – a generation ago – that the brand which has become synonymous with Pinotage was ‘born’ when the first vineyard was planted at the small home farm off the Koelenhof road, bought in 1988. Marveling at growth and development during the 30 years since Beyers thrust his hands into the soil and planted the first vines on home soil, it’s exciting to contemplate what the next 30 years might hold as Anri and the Beyerskloof family push the envelope viticulturally and in the cellar. Might there even be one more expression of Pinotage in the making?

Ooh, shiny!
Remember that scene in Aladdin where his pet monkey and compadre, Abu, touches one of the forbidden gems in the Cave of Wonders, and suddenly all of that gold and treasure starts melting and the whole place comes crumbling down?
Talk about dramatic! Amidst all of that theatrical music and a magic carpet flight, it was hard not to think 'dang, what a waste of all that precious treasure!' As we grew up, we came to realise that a cave full of mystical gems and piles of gold probably doesn't exist - and if it does, we're too tired to look for it.
Be that as it may, we also come to appreciate the treasure and beauty in other things, like a shiny new set of cutlery, in various colours and tints, mind you. Kind of like our deal from Jane Becker. Now you can dine happily ever after!
