An icon of the South African industry, Beyers Truter was at the winemaking helm of Kanonkop until 2004. Beyerskloof is a wine producer situated in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. Established in 1988 by winemaker Beyers Truter who aimed to produce Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine. Today, Beyerskloof is most famous for its wines produced from Pinotage. 2001 was a cool year with small harvest. 72% Cabernet in this Bordeaux blend; an opportunity to taste history.
"The best grapes were selected, grown next to our cellar on the Koelenhof foothills of Stellenbosch. Both varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) were harvested at the same time. Skin contact in open fermenters with the cap being punched down by hand every 2 hours. Rested on the skins at 26ºC for 6 days. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel the wine aged in new French oak barrels for 24 months." - Beyers Truter
