n 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
