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.

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.

Product details

Beyerskloof Lagare is a fortified “Cape Vintage” wine made by Beyerskloof, a winery renowned for its Pinotage specialisation in Stellenbosch. It’s crafted primarily from Pinotage, with a portion of Touriga Nacional and Tinta Barocca in the blend. The grapes are foot‑tread (“lagare” is Portuguese for the open granite fermenters), which gives robust colour extraction, and the wine is fortified with pot‑distilled Pinotage spirit. The result is an intense and structured port-style wine with about 18% ABV.
