Tasting note
A large pinotage with intense aromas of dark fruit. This wine has great depth and balance, with pleasant chocolate and sugar aromas from the oak on the finish.
Culinary recommendation
The diesel goes well with lamb's back, duck and dry aged entrecote
Vinification
Diesel Pinotage, certainly an unusual name for a wine. However, this is explained very quickly if you know the story behind it. Diesel was the name of Beyers Truters, owner of Beyerskloof, dog and a beloved and loyal, constant companion of his master. The dog could not only be found in the vineyard, but in the cellar or next to the desk. It was therefore clear for Beyers Truter to name his best wine after his best friend. The grapes for Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage come from Bushvine vines. A type of education that is often used in South Africa, especially for Pinotage. The fermentation process took place over 5 days in open barrels at an average temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. The mash was pressed down every 2 hours. The malolactic fermentation then took place in stainless steel tanks. New French oak barrels were used for the 18-month maturation. Of the 300 filled barrels, only 20 barrels were selected for the Diesel Pinotage in the end.
