The Diesel Pinotage is Beyerskloof’s flagship expression, named after the founder’s dog “Diesel”—an iconic wine that embodies boldness, depth, and South African character. The 2023 vintage continues this legacy, crafted from bush vines grown without wire trellising, fermented in open-top barrels, and matured in 21 months of predominantly new French oak. The result is a powerful yet refined expression of Pinotage, built for aging yet expressive in its youth.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep ruby garnet with purple hues.
Nose: A complex bouquet of black cherries, mulberries, and dark plum. Earthy undergrowth, hints of leather, cocoa, and crushed slate emerge with aeration. Spices like clove and black pepper add intrigue.
Palate: Full-bodied and layered. The fruit core delivers stewed blackberries, dark cherry compote, and pomegranate. Beneath the fruit, there’s baked earth, forest floor, and subtle tobacco leaf. The oak influence brings cedar spice, vanilla, and dark chocolate.
Finish: Long and structured. Velvety tannins linger alongside a touch of graphite, dried herbs, and lingering dark fruit. A minerality thread ensures freshness even at the close.
Collector’s Note
Diesel Pinotage is widely regarded as one of South Africa’s benchmark Pinotages, and the 2023 vintage maintains the tradition’s prestige. Its depth, aging potential, and branding make it a prized bottle for collectors and connoisseurs of South African wine.
