Producer information

Diemers Dal is a well-known landmark in the lush Durbanville Valley, one of the Cape's oldest wine regions. Six generations of the Louw family have been making wine at Diemers Dall since the land was handed over to them in 1885. More than 12 years later, Diemersdaal is now part of the Wines of Origin Cape Town, and every afternoon a cool mist from the Atlantic Ocean blankets the vineyards, making the wines of Diemersdaal It creates unique features.

overview

●Cap: cork ●Cultivation/soil: The vines take root in deep red Hatton soils on north-facing slopes that are exposed to southerly winds in summer and frontal winds that blow the Cape from the north in winter. Cool growing conditions and dry farming practices allow fruit to grow slowly and maximize varietal expression on the vine. The result is tightly packed clusters of small fruit, suitable for producing wines of structure, elegance and sophistication.
●Manufacturing: 30% new 225L French oak barrels aged for 11 months.
