Beaumont Family Wines were the first winery in South Africa to bottle a single varietal Mourvèdre.
Originally the grape comes from Spain and France where it is mostly used to enhance blends. Mourvédre's dark, thick-skinned berries result in powerful spicy and sometimes gamey aromas in their youth.
This unique wine was made from a small parcel of Mourvèdre with a low crop yield of 4 tons/ha. Grapes were harvested at full ripeness, cold soaked, fermented in concrete tanks and allowed a post maceration of 3 weeks, where after it was pressed directly into 100% French oak barrels.
Another 10 year old vintage drinking beautifully now and will mature for a further three years.
Only 30 bottles available
