What our Customers think
Diemersdal with a History Dating Back to 1698
Diemersdal is one of the traditional wine estates of the Durbanville Valley and can trace its history back to 1698. The estate has been owned by the Louw family since 1885 and is now in its sixth generation. The vineyards lie on the cool slopes of the Dorstberg and benefit greatly from the influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. Around 200 hectares of vines are dry-farmed, resulting in concentrated grapes with a clear sense of origin. Diemersdal is particularly well known for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinotage, two grape varieties that strongly shape the estate’s distinctive style.
Diemersdal Wines with a Focus on Sauvignon Blanc and Pinotage
Diemersdal combines traditional winemaking with a clear understanding of Durbanville’s cool-climate terroir. The estate’s Sauvignon Blancs in particular stand for freshness, minerality and precise fruit, while its Pinotage wines show depth, spice and structure. The portfolio includes approachable classics as well as characterful premium wines and special ranges such as The Journal. Wines such as the Private Collection and the Diemersdal Pinotage 2024 also demonstrate the breadth of the estate – from fresh and straightforward to complex and powerful.
Diemersdal Combines Terroir, Family and Wine Culture
A visit to Diemersdal offers the opportunity to experience the distinctive wine culture of the Durbanville Valley first-hand. Tastings of the different wine ranges and the close connection to the vineyards surrounding the estate are at the heart of the experience. Deep Hutton soils, decomposed granite, dry farming and cool Atlantic air play a decisive role in shaping the style of the wines. In this way, Diemersdal combines centuries of history, six generations of family knowledge and modern winemaking to create an unmistakable expression of Durbanville terroir.
