History

Beyerskloof began with a vineyard planted at a small home farm off the Koelenhof road in Stellenbosch, bought in 1988; it was there that Beyers Truter planted the first vines. The maiden vintage of Beyerskloof, known as Beyerskloof 1989, was produced, and in 1995 the first vintage of its Pinotage was produced and bottled. One year later, Beyerskloof Pinotage won its first of many Absa Top 10 Pinotage awards. In 1997, another 100 hectares were bought in the Bottelary Winelands of Stellenbosch, and in 2018 a further 50 hectares of vineyards known as Kriekbult were purchased.
