Beyerskloof Pinotage Reserve

Pale garnet purple in colour. The bouquet shows aromatic layers loaded with red fruits - plum, cranberry, raspberry, cherry and pomegranate. A touch of charcuterie adds a savoury dimension to the strawberry cream. Floral perfume entices with the fragrance of jasmine with some fynbos and hints of leather, aniseed and dried rooibos leaf. Lovely vitality and sensuality echo on the palate. Fine, pomegranate-like tannins underpin bright cranberry and cherry. Elegant and refreshing, with a well-balanced structure and dry finish.

In 1988 one of the Cape's most foremost wine makers, Beyers Truter of Kanonkop Estate formed a partnership with four ardent wine lovers in Johannesburg with one ideal in mind - to produce a wine of exceptional character. After exploring the Cape Winelands for a suitable location they found a perfectly situated farm in the Koelenhof area within the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin region. Coincidence provided an appropriate name. The farm's original name was Nooitgedacht, which for five generations belonged to the Beyers family before Jan Andries Beyers sold it in 1895. Beyers Truter is a direct descendent of Jan Beyers, thus making him the sixth generation to farm this land.
