Grapes for this wine come from 50% 43-year-old bush vines and the other 50% from 23-year-old trellised vines. Fermented in 1-ton open fermenters for 4 days at 26-28oC. Punch through and pumped over every 3 hours. 100% MLF completed spontaneously in 225L French oak barrels.
The vines are rooted in deep red Hutton soils on north-facing slopes, catching the southerly breezes of summer and the frontal winds that punish the Cape from the north in winter. Cool growing conditions on exposed aspects, as well as the practice of dryland farming, sees the fruit develop slowly, drawing maximum variety expression on the vine. The result is tight bunches of small berries, ideal for making wines of structure, elegance, and refinement.
16 months of wood maturation in 60% new 225L French oak barrels.
Ostrich fillet with chocolate-chili sauce, rack of lamb or a hearty beef stew should all pair well with this bold Pinotage.

Diemersdal
Six generations of Louws have practiced the art of winemaking at Diemersdal since the Estate passed into their hands in 1885. More than 12 decades later Diemersdal is a well-known landmark in the lush Durbanville Valley one of the Cape’s oldest wine regions. Diemersdal forms part of the Wine of Origin Cape Town where cooling mists from the Atlantic Ocean roll over the vineyards every afternoon contributing to the unique character of Diemersdal wines.
