History: In the national as well as international wine world, Beyerskloof is considered as the home of South African Pinotage wines. Quite rightly so. With a wide range of Pinotage variations, the winemaker Beyers Truter and his team have made it their mission to promote South Africa's national grape.
Regional information: Beyerskloof winery is a charming family-run farm that rests in the bosom of the Cape Winelands overlooking grand Simonsberg mountain and is the quintessential king of Pinotage. The grapes derive from unirrigated bush vines of 20-40 years old in the famous Stellenbosch wine region.
Vinification: Cellar techniques include different systems of skin contact and fermentation in open fermenters, roto tanks, and fermentomatics. 4 to 5 days on skins at 25°C. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was treated with oak.
