Dark purple like core with a vibrant ruby red rim. An abundance of sweet black currant with hits of red cherry. Classic cedar and forest floor with a timid leathery undertone. Opulent black fruit with a finely balanced, juicy and savoury mid palate. Firm yet elegant ripe tannins. A fresh acidity provide a lingering aftertaste. This wine has all the attributes of a classic Cape Blend.

Producer

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. This piece of land could only have one name - BEYERSKLOOF Today the business is in capable hands of Beyers Truter and Simon Halliday from Raisin Social, UK
