Weingut Dieu Donné
The Winery Dieu Donné is located high on the steep, southwest-facing slopes of the Franschhoek Mountains. This unique location favors a cool climate and, combined with the rocky soils of weathered granite, creates a unique terroir that is ideal for viticulture.
These conditions ensure that the vines do not grow excessively and produce only highly concentrated grapes in small quantities, which can only be found in this form at the Winery Dieu Donné.
"Dieu Donné" literally means "A Gift from God." The spectacular mountain backdrop of the Winery only confirms this translation all too well.
Tasting notes
The Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz from the Winery Dieu Donné is a robust, Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend. With plum and vanilla aromas and a hint of white pepper on the tongue, the wine especially convinces lovers of intense fruit aromas.
This vintage matured six months in French oak barrels and has an aging potential of 6 to 8 years.
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.
