Vinifikation
Diesel Pinotage, certainly an unusual name for a wine. However, it is quickly explained once you know the story behind it. Diesel was the name of Beyers Truter's dog, the owner of Beyerskloof, and a beloved, loyal, and constant companion to his master. The dog could be found not only in the vineyard, but in the cellar or beside the desk as well. So, it was clear to Beyers Truter to name his best wine after his "best" friend. The grapes for the Beyerskloof Diesel Pinotage come from bush vines—a training method frequently used in South Africa, especially for Pinotage. The fermentation process took place over 5 days in open-top barrels at an average temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. The grape skins were punched down every 2 hours during this time. Malolactic fermentation subsequently took place in stainless steel tanks. New French oak barrels were used for the 18-month maturation. Of the 300 barrels filled, only 20 were ultimately selected for the Diesel Pinotage.
