As part of our Reserve range. the Beyerskloof Synergy Cape Blend represents not only the Synergy between our most popular red grape varieties but all combine the classic European with the New World wine styles. This Cape Blend shows the best characteristics of Pinotage and how they can be complemented by an array of varietals.

in the vineyard : We had an excellent winter with the ideal conditions for the vines during their rest period. Budding started end of August with a lot of rain, which created high disease pressure. In October, we had strong winds that continued until mid-January. The wind had a positive effect on the disease pressure but had a negative effect on flowering, and in the end our yield. Harvest started 7 days earlier at the end of January, due to a few heat waves in January. Weather conditions were great during harvest, and we finished early, on 13 March. Quality of the grapes looked excellent even though we are down 20% on our long-term average production. In general, I am very happy with the vintage, although I would have loved a little bit more grapes.

in the cellar : Grapes were handpicked from vines in the Bottelary area. Fermentation took place in open fermenters for 4–6 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine went to French oak barrels for 12 months.
