South African Winery
Beyerskloof produces the #1 selling Pinotage in both the U.K. and South Africa—the most Pinotage-savvy markets in the world. The winery and vineyards lie in the heart of Stellenbosch, one of the world’s classic winegrowing regions.

Beyers Truter, winery founder and winemaker, searched for prime land within Stellenbosch to plant his Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Truter is not only known as "Mr. Pinotage" to much of the industry, but he is also one of South Africa’s most respected winemakers. In addition, he was awarded the Robert Mondavi Trophy as the International Winemaker of the Year at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in London.

Truter was formerly winemaker for Kanonkop Wine Estate, where his first Cabernet Sauvignon was awarded the best table wine at the Stellenbosch Wine Show. Truter teamed with Simon Halliday and opened Beyerskloof in 1988.

2005 Merlot
In the hands of Beyers Truter, the Merlot grape becomes more accessible, less pedestrian and simply delicious. Pairs well with tomato-based sauces and grilled chicken.

Suggested Retail: $12.00
2004 Cape Blend
Beyerskloof’s “Cape Blend” refers to a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Pinotage, and 5% Merlot. Uncommon and very South African. Goes beautifully with grilled meats, curries and aged beef.

Suggested Retail: $20.00


Beyerskloof Cape Blend Wine Label
2001 Beyerskloof

Aged in new oak for 27 months. Try it with sausages from the braai (the South African word for “grill”).

Suggested Retail: $35.00
2006 Chenin Blanc
This dry, crisp, easy-drinking white wine is made from 100% Chenin Blanc grapes--South Africa's signature white grape. No oak.
