The inside track
The estate
Known as the 'Home of Pinotage,' Beyerskloof Wines is a premier Stellenbosch estate dedicated to producing exceptional red wines and Cape blends. Visitors can enjoy award-winning tastings and scenic dining at the on-site Red Leaf Bistro.
Nestled amidst the rolling hills of the Stellenbosch wine region, Beyerskloof Wines offers a serene escape for wine enthusiasts.
In just 30 years – a single generation – Beyerskloof Wines has established itself as synonymous with South Africa's heritage varietal, Pinotage. The journey commenced with the planting of a vineyard at a small home farm off the Koelenhof road in Stellenbosch, which was acquired in 1988. At this historic juncture, Beyers Truter, the driving force behind Beyerskloof, immersed himself in the soil to inaugurate the planting of the first vines, marking the inception of an iconic narrative. The genuine essence of wine takes shape in the vineyards, with each site being accorded distinctive treatment. Leaves are carefully removed to optimize sun exposure, and yields are managed to maximize the flavour profile.
At Beyerskloof, a particular fondness exists for bush vines, particularly for their premium Pinotage. These vines yield smaller berries, resulting in exquisite colours and captivating characteristics.
Wine
As a preeminent producer of red wines in South Africa, Beyerskloof endeavours to craft wines of exceptional quality, with a special emphasis on Pinotage and Pinotage blends. The tireless dedication to quality begins in the vineyards, nestled in the storied Stellenbosch wine valley. Through meticulous and innovative cellar practices, Beyerskloof consistently produces award-winning wines.
Dining
For those seeking a remarkable culinary experience in Stellenbosch, the Red Leaf Bistro at Beyerskloof Wine Estate beckons.
