About this Item
“The last twenty years, we realised that you only really know once you make wine from a grape what the potential of the wine can be. Life is too short to try and make everything work for everybody, you know. You can’t satisfy everybody’s taste in wine.” - Sebastian Beaumont
100% Pinotage
• The vineyard was planted in 1974 by Raoul Beaumont on the east-facing slope of the Beaumont farm on cool, clay-rich shale soils.
• Very low yielding single vineyard site.
• Arthur Pillman from Goedvertrouw Estate in Bot River allowed Sebastian to make a wine in 1993 from this vineyard. The wine was called "Arthuro-Sebastiano".
• Arthur was the person who inspired Sebastian to start winemaking.
• This wine illustrates the beauty of the cooler climate, old vine style of Pinotage.
Tasting Notes: Bright purple in colour. Perfumed with intense fruit and spice from the grape.
Fresh, fine tannins on the palate are beautifully coated by the fruit.
Ready for drinking in 10 to 15 years.
