Beaumont's "new baby" was already five years old in 2020. The cuvée was created in 2015 from roughly equal proportions of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon with a little Chardonnay and Colombard. As the amount of old vines used here is limited, there are only six barriques. This is a big, complex South African that should be given large glasses and plenty of air or a few more years to mature in the cellar. It then delights with a wide range of flavours from oranges, mandarins and lemons to sea buckthorn, stone and pome fruit, herbs and fine wood.

In the 18th century, Compagnes Drift Farm in Bot River, about 40 kilometres southeast of Cape Town, was an outpost for the Dutch East India Company. In the 1970s, Jayne and Raoul Beaumont took over the farm, planted vines and produced wines under the Compagnes Drift label.
