In 1988 one of the Cape’s most foremost wine makers, Beyers Truter of Kanonkop Estate, formed a partnership with four ardent wine lovers in Johannesburg with one ideal in mind: to produce a wine of exceptional character.
After exploring the Cape
Winelands for a suitable location they found a perfectly situated farm in the
Koelenhof area within the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin region. Coincidence
provided an appropriate name. The farm’s original name was Nooitgedacht, which
for five generations belonged to the Beyers family before Jan Andries Beyers
sold it in 1895. Beyers Truter is a direct descendent of Jan Beyers, thus
making him the sixth generation to farm this land.
This piece of land could only
have one name – BEYERSKLOOF
Beyerskloof
