A tribute to Beyers Truter's beloved Great Dane, Diesel, who features on the label. Bold and structured, this Pinotage bursts with intense dark fruit flavors, offering remarkable depth and balance.
Its lasting finish and rich profile make it an exceptional pairing for hearty dishes like matured ribeye on the bone, slow-cooked lamb shank, or flavorful spicy Indian curries. With superb aging potential of 10 years or more, this wine promises to evolve beautifully over time, enhancing its complexity and elegance.

Optimum ripeness for picking was at 26°B. Once destemmed berries went through a sorting system to minimize greenness. Fermentation took place in open casks, with punch downs done every 2 hours for 4-5 days. Grapes were pressed before fermentation finished, and malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tank. The wine went into new French oak barrels for 20 months, and only the best barrels were selected for this wine.
