Diemersdal Winery
The Winery Diemersdal was already founded in 1698 and is thus one of the oldest wineries in Africa at all. However, wine production for a larger, international market only began in the 1970s. The estate is located in the Durbanville wine region north of Cape Town. Here, at the foot of the Dorstberg, the conditions for viticulture are excellent.
Tasting notes
The Diemersdal Sauvignon Blanc presents itself in a light straw color in the glass. On the nose it reveals intense aromas of green pepper, gooseberry and citrus fruits.
On the palate it is fresh and juicy, with good incorporated acid and a pleasant one minerality. The play of aromas green pepper and citrus fruits continues in the finish and leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
