BEYERSKLOOF LAGARE PORT

WHY IS IT SPECIAL? Lagare Cape Vintage is a striking example of how Pinotage can be transformed into an elegant fortified wine, marrying traditional port-style winemaking techniques with South African character. The foot-treading extraction, combined with spirit fortification, gives the wine a bold, deeply coloured profile and firm structure, while its lineage from Beyerskloof — the “home of Pinotage” — anchors it in the heart of South African winemaking heritage.   REVIEWS/AWARDS Veritas: Silver ( 2022) Trophy Wine Show: 89/100 (2020)   TASTING NOTES: Nose: Rich aromas of plum, dried fruit, spicy nutmeg, and a hint of liquorice, with the spirit seamlessly integrated. Palate: Deep black fruit — blackberry, plum pudding — with a firm core, balanced acidity, and dry richness. Finish: Long and lingering, with a touch of dried fruit, dark spice, and a warm, slightly boozy tail.
