Winemaker Anri Truter, the owner of the Beyerskloof estate, has united the ancient grape varieties with the new Pinotage cross. The Beyerskloof Traildust is a tribute to the legacy of the Pinotage. “This wine is an acknowledgement of every person who has been involved in the Pinotage journey, from vineyard to glass. L’Amour describes the Traildust created on the roads travelled and relationships formed as lifelong companions. These friendships share a mutual respect for Pinotage, as well as the people involved in its creation and those who strive to grow this cultivar.”

Grapes were picked at optimum ripeness. Made in open fermenters, on the skins for 4-6 days at an average temp. of 26°C. Punching of the cap was done every 2 hours to extract good colour and flavours from the grapes. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine aged in third-fill French oak barrels for 12 months. Generous amount of red fruit, cherries, and plum. A well-balanced wine with a juicy middle, well-rounded tannins, and a sweet fruit finish.
