96 POINTS | 30 VINTAGES | ONE VERY SPECIAL HOPE
Our Hope Marguerite OVP Chenin Blanc 2025 has been awarded 96 points by Tim Atkin in his 2026 South Africa Special Report — a remarkable result for the 30th vintage of our flagship w**e.
And perhaps even more meaningful are Tim’s words, “A w**e that I like to buy for my own cellar, given how seamlessly it ages.”
Born from Beaumont’s oldest Chenin Blanc vineyards, planted in 1974 and 1978, Hope Marguerite is a w**e built around patience, place, and longevity.
The results across the range are equally extraordinary, with four Beaumont w**es also selected among Tim Atkin’s “W**es of the Year”:
96 | Hope Marguerite OVP Chenin Blanc 2025 — Best Chenin Blanc
95 | CWG GG’s OVP Chenin Blanc 2025 — Best Chenin Blanc
95 | New Baby OVP 2025 — Best White Blend
95 | Goutte d’Or Noble Late Harvest Chenin Blanc 2025 — Best Sweet W**e
94 | CWG Arturo’s Pinotage 2024
92 | Vitruvian Red Blend 2021
90 | Jackals River Pinotage 2024
89 | Beaumont Chenin Blanc 2026
For us, this represents something bigger than points. Beaumont has moved from a Fourth Growth producer to a Second Growth producer.
A journey built over generations, rooted in Bot River and driven by our belief that great vineyards can produce w**es of extraordinary character, depth and longevity.
Huge congratulations to our vineyard and cellar teams, whose dedication makes these w**es possible — and thank you to Tim for your continued support of Beaumont and South African w**e.
30 vintages of Hope Marguerite.
96 points.
And a new chapter for Beaumont.
