[Notes1] => On the nose rich dark chocalte and powerful freshly brewed coffee styling, with a hint of mint and baked plums. The palate shows distinct characters of coffee and chocolate which is balanched with smooth velvety tannins and a lingering aftertaste

The first vines were planted in the 1970s on the alluvial terraces as well as the granite slopes that are found higher up in the Haweka Mountains. The climate is Mediterranean-like with warm summers and cool breezes coming off the Atlantic to cool the vineyards around harvest time.
[Notes3] =>

[MediaNotes] =>

[Notes1] => The Diemersfontein estate has been in the Sonnenberg family since the early 1940s and is today run by David and his wife Sue. The 183 hectare property is situated 70 kilometres north east of Cape Town in Wellington in the Western Cape Winelands. David’s father, Richard, planted the first vines in the 1970s on the alluvial terraces that as well as the granite slopes that are found higher up in the Haweka
Mountains. The climate is Mediterranean-like with warm summers and cool breezes coming off the Atlantic to cool the vineyards around harvest time. In 2000, David built the estate’s own winery and head maker Francois Roode has been in charge for the past 16 years. Both the Chenin Blanc and Pinotage are tank fermented with the Pinotage being made in tanks with oak staves to give an extra layer of flavour and complexity.
[Notes2] =>
[Notes3] => Wellington
[Notes4] => Diemersfontein has belonged to the Sonnenberg family since the early 1940s, when David`s grandfather, Max, bought the 183 hectare farm, which lies in the shadow of the majestic Hawekwa Mountains with a panoramic view of both Du Toit`s Kloof and Bains` Kloof.
Central to the working wine estate, is the third-generation family manor house, known as the `Groot Huis`, overlooking magnificent gardens, which are reminiscent of an era when gracious living and tranquility were the order of the day. Designed by Cecilia Sonnenberg, the gardens offer an abundance of roses and azaleas, a secluded swimming pool and is a much sought after venue for weddings, important celebrations and a peaceful getaway destination for conferences.
Max Sonnenberg, with his son Richard (Dick), was the co-founder of Woolworths South Africa and a Member of Parliament in the Jan Smuts Government. He and his family used Diemersfontein as a country retreat, and during the war years, Italian prisoners of war were housed in the farm cottages.
Richard took over the farm in the 1950s and became more involved in the farming operations. His wife Cecilia, a well known Cape Town actress and producer, was the co-founder of Maynardville Open Air Theatre, famous for its Shakespearian productions.
The farm`s association with the arts started with the strains of opera singing drifting up from the cottages housing the Italian prisoners. The family tradition of being patrons and contributors to the arts has been followed by the present owners, David and Sue Sonnenberg and Sue, an artist and chorister, is involved with encouraging and sponsoring local artists, providing them with materials and a place to work.
The first vineyards were planted by David`s father in the 1970s, and in 2000 David built his own cellar and started producing award-winning estate wines. Vineyard plantings include Shiraz, Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and also the "lesser known" varietals Viognier, Barbera, Roobernet and Mouvedre. Diemersfontein`s maiden vintage (2001)
