Beaumont Port 2000

Very dark, brick red and purple colour. Intense spicy nose dominated by cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and dark berry fruits. Big well balanced palate of dark plummy fruit, spices with a hint of toasty wood, this palate is backed up by nice dry tannins.

in the vineyard : The tinta Barocca and Pinotage grapes came from 40 year old vines.

in the cellar : We do the traditional thing by footstomping in an open kuip to allow for maximum colour and tannin extraction. The wine was inoculated after two days on skins with WE372 yeast. After two days of regular punching down, the wine was hard pressed at 11° Balling and fortified at 9° Balling.
The wine was then racked into 6th-fill French oak barrels where it remained for two years. It was bottled by hand, unfiltered & unfined. Only 75 cases produced.
