Beeslaar Cape Courage 2023

Opaque ruby hues in the glass with a slight purple edge. The nose is clearly Cabernet Sauvignon–led, offering focused aromas of graphite, dark hedgerow fruit and cassis, underpinned by well-judged oak spice. Subtle herbal notes add lift, alongside hints of sweet cinnamon and a lightly dusty, earthy nuance that adds further complexity.

On the palate, the wine is broad-framed yet immediately approachable, with ripe, finely grained tannins shaping a generous but controlled fruit core. The aromatic profile follows through seamlessly, delivering classic Cabernet flavours, while the Pinotage component contributes an appealing red-fruit brightness and gentle spice, while also softening the mid-palate. Well balanced and composed throughout, the wine finishes dry and assured in the Beeslaar house style. A highly drinkable expression with plenty of personality and excellent value.

Food pairings:

• Grilled ribeye with rosemary and black pepper
• Slow-braised lamb shoulder with garlic and thyme
• Cape Malay spiced lamb or beef curry (medium heat)
• Mushroom and truffle risotto
• Aged hard cheeses (Mature Cheddar or Comté)
