The building of the Beyerskloof brand is a story of vision and passion for the wine

The visionaries in this case are Beyers Truter ('Mr Pinotage') and Simon Halliday of Raisin Social who jointly own Beyerskloof

Beyers Truter, known as the ‘King of Pinotage’ for his pioneering work with the grape, bought a small and perfectly situated farm in 1988 and named it Beyerskloof. He saw the potential in developing Pinotage in the premium wine sector and Simon Halliday shared his vision by taking a joint stake in the project

Raisin Social work closely with Beyers on every element of the marketing mix. The quality of the wine is always Beyers' first passion and his obsession with developing styles and improving quality never ceases. Beyers has been showered with awards, too numerous to name them all, including South African Winemaker of the Year at the 2003 International Wine and Spirit Competition.

The brand has proved enormously successful since its launch and is still growing strongly with exciting additions to the Beyerskloof range such as Sparkling Brut Rose, Synergy blends and the new Diesel Pinotage.
