Diemersdal Wine Estate
Our Winemakers

 

In the Cellar

At Diemersdal we blend the old and new worlds of winemaking. 

In pursuit of the award-winning red wines that give expression to the rich diversity of the terroir, we use traditional open fermenters to enhance the natural flavours and soften the tannins in our grapes. We take great care in choosing the barrels for each cultivar.

For the white wines, we have a brand new state-of-the art winery where we adopt an approach of minimum intervention to conserve prominent varietal character.

To continually produce unique wines, our winemakers pay meticulous attention to detail and spend time experimenting with new techniques, barrels and yeasts.

Our Wealth Lies in our People

Six generations sharing the same fiery passion for excellence – this is what has made Diemersdal Wines world-renowned today. 

"The Estate has always been run as a hands-on family business"

After all, it’s not just the grapes that make Diemersdal Wines exceptional, but also the dedication and passion of the people who work in the vineyards and in the cellar.
