Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage
‘Diesel Pinotage’ is certainly an unusual name for a wine. However, it is easily explained once you know the history behind it. ‘Diesel’ was the name of the dog of Beyer Truters, the owner of the Beyerskloof estate. The dog was his beloved, loyal and constant companion. Diesel was always at his side, whether in the vineyards, in the cellar or in his office, so it was only logical that Beyers Truters named his best wine after his ‘best’ friend.The grapes for the Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage come from bush vines that are cultivated without wire trellis training systems. In South Africa, the bush vine method is often used specifically for Pinotage. The fermentation took place in open barrels for 5 days at an average temperature of 78.8° F, while the must was pressed down every 2 hours. Subsequently, the malolactic fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, the wine matured for 18 months in new French oak casks. Only 20 out of a total of 300 filled barrels were chosen to produce the Diesel Pinotage.The Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage is a deep purple in the glass. Its bouquet is characterised by complex aromas of blackberries and dark fruit, complemented by elegant notes of cedar wood. On the palate, the wine shows a fine but complex structure of black and red fruit. This Pinotage is truly a superb wine, captivating with its outstanding balance between fruit and wood. This wine has an outstanding ageing potential and it is expected to be a genuine delight over the next 10 years or even longer.It is an ideal accompaniment to spicy Indian cuisine or a well-matured rump steak. The Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage is arguably one of the best Pinotage wines from the Cape.

Spier 21 Gables Pinotage
For the South African winemakers a good Pinotage is always a challenge. Pinotage makes special demands on the quality of the vineyards and the art of the wine. In the Private Collection the wines have great strength and great depth and it is the art too tame the Pinotage so it becomes not too hard and dry. Perfectly ripe grapes are therefore an important condition. It is taken by the grapes from their own vineyards of Spier in Stellenbosch, where no more than 50 hectoliters per hectare Pinotage is harvested. The grapes are picked by hand in order to arrive undamaged in the basement, without oxidation. The Private Selection is made of only the best parts of the vineyard. The fermentation takes place after a short cold maceration, some in open containers. Then the wine is aged in a mixture of French and American oak barrels. American Wood emphasizes the bright and intense sweet fruit from the Pinotage and accentuates the beautiful character of this variety to a particular way. Colour: intense ruby red. Fragrance: Subtle fragrance with caramalised black cherries, hints of dark spice and dark chocolate. Taste: delicious fruit and elegant taste, pleasant feel of wood and vanilla with a light seasoning, a continuing strength, with great length and nice ripe tannins. Can be drunk now, but can also improve 4 to 7 years.Delicious with a beautiful bouquet with black pepper steak, pasta with pesto and black olives, ripe cheese.

Klug und bedächtig wählt Winemaker Nicki Pruss das beste Lesegut der verschiedenen Napa-Valley- Lagen und vermählt es gekonnt mit den Trauben des eigenen Fay-Weinbergs im Stag’s Leap District zu diesem einzigartigen Cabernet-Sauvignon-Blend: mit der Tiefe, Struktur und Eleganz der limitierten Einzellagenweine des Weinguts und zugleich geprägt vom individuellen Charakter der einzelnen Napa-Valley-Weinberge, die Artemis um so unendlich viele, oft kleinste Facetten bereichern.Die Trauben werden separat vergoren, die Weine dann zum Artemis Final Blend vermählt. Der Stags Leap Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis reift 18 Monate in Barriques aus französischer Eiche (55 % neu), wird dann abgefüllt und weitere sechs Monate auf der Flasche gelagert, bevor man ihn schließlich für den Handel freigibt.Im Glas zeigt sich der Artemis in einem tiefdunklem, dichten Pflaumenrot mit rubinroten Glanzlichtern. Der amerikanische Rotwein bezaubert mit einem klassischen Cabernet-Bouquet von saftig gereiften schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren und Schwarzkirschen, unterlegt mit erdigen Noten von Moos und Waldboden, Leder, Zeder, Kräutern (Rosmarin), Lakritz, Mokka, Vanille und Karamell. Am Gaumen ist der Wein kraftvoll, intensiv und fest strukturiert, doch mit der klassischen Eleganz von Stag’s Leap. Der individuelle und ausdrucksstarke Cabernet Sauvignon besitzt einen mittleren Körper und ist im Finale lang und harmonisch ausgewogen mit würzigem Nachhall von schwarzen Johannisbeeren, Schwarzteeblättern, Mokka und Lakritz.

Product recommendation

Tokara Director's Reserve Red
This wine has a deep dark inky garnet colour with a touch of red brick evident on the rim. This is an intensely complex wine with intense dark berry fruit and crème de cassis notes on the nose. There is an inky heady dark character on the nose reminiscent of dark chocolate, cardamom spice and roasted fennel bulb. Always evident on this wine and a hallmark of every vintage is the hint of Eucalyptus or mint. The palate is full and rich mirroring most of what is evident on the nose. Displaying cocoa, mocha notes ripe berry fruits and a spicy grip. The tannins are broad and textured and leave the wine with a dry finish as well as there being a certain amount of freshness which results in the wine lingering on and on.Food pairing: Veal Osso Bucco or Grilled fillet steak served with red wine sauce, bone marrow, shallots and French fries.

Delheim Grand Reserve 2015
In contrast to the 2014 vintage, the Delheim Grand Reserve 2015 consists of significantly higher percentages of Merlot. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which are predominant in this wine, come from three different vineyards located in the Stellenbosch region. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes grow on vineyards located on the slopes of the Klapmutskop Mountains. The vines for this wonderful cuvée are at least 10 years old, and some of them are more than 20 years old, ensuring exceptional depth and structure of the wine. To ensure optimal pre-selection, all the grapes were picked by hand.During the fermentation, the grapes were stirred three times a day to achieve maximal aroma extraction from the grapes. The whole process was carried out at controlled temperatures. After the three grape varieties were aged for 16 months, the maturity of the Merlot was decisive for the blending and therefore for the mixture of the final wine. Finally, the Delheim Grand Reserve matured for another 4 months in used 300-litre oak casks.On the nose, the brilliant, dark ruby-red wine pampers your senses with aromas of mint, cassis and truffle, rounded off by fine nuances of red berries. On the palate, the wine shows wonderful fruity notes which are preserved despite the wine’s immense fullness and power. The Delheim Grand Reserve 2015 goes beautifully with any luxurious meal and is also an ideal accompaniment to tangy cheeses.
