Winery 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.

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.
Ratings
Dieser Wein ist eine Cuvée aus Merlot und Cabernet Sauvignon und holt dabei das Beste aus beiden Rebsorten heraus. Er ist weich und köstlich.
Der Wein ist komplex mit Aromen von Früchten , Gewürzen und einen Hauch von Vanille. Der Wein überzeugt bereits in der Nase mit intensiven Aromen die am Gaumen zu einer Geschmacksexplosion führen. Klasse Wein.
Dies ist ein schöner Wein, der mit Bedacht genossen werden sollte. Am besten keine Gedanken machen über die Kombination mit Essen. Am besten einfach alleine genießen!
Vollmundig mit Veilchen- und Vanillearomen in der Nase. Am Gaumen ist er elegant und komplex, mit Noten von roten Beeren, Toffee und Mokka.
Intensiver, herrlicher Geruch von Waldbeeren. Einer der besten Rotweine die ich je getrunken habe. Freue mich auf die nächsten Jahre, wenn er dann seine Komplexität noch mehr entfalten wird - sehr lecker!
