The Beyerskloof Diesel is a deep, opaque ruby in colour. On the nose, expect bold, complex aromas of blackberry compote, ripe black plum, and dark chocolate, layered with charred oak, espresso, and a smoky, meaty undertone—hinting at its robust structure. On the palate, it’s dry and full-bodied, with high, velvety tannins and medium (+) acidity that balance its dense core of blackcurrant, blueberry, and licorice. The oak is pronounced but well-integrated, adding vanilla, toasted cedar, and a touch of clove spice, while a savory, almost gamey note (reminiscent of Pinotage’s character) lingers beneath. The finish is long and warming, with lingering dark fruit, mocha, and a peppery lift.
