These grapes were harvested at optimum phenolic ripeness. Grapes for this wine comes from 44 year old bush vines and 24 year old trellised vines. Fermented in 1 ton open fermenter for 4 days at 26-28°C. Punch through and pumped over every 3 hours. 100% MLF completed spontaneous in 225L French oak barrels.
A combination of old and new. The Pinotage grapes come from a 44-year-old bush vine and 24-year-old trellised vines. 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 practise 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 wood maturation in 40% new 225L French oak barrels.
Ostrich fillet with chocolate-chilli sauce, rack of lamb or a hearty beef stew should all pair well with this bold Pinotage.

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.
