Description

A pale peach colour with soft tones of raspberry, strawberry and candy floss. The delicate and smooth berry flavours follow through to the palate with a medium body and a lingering dry finish
The grapes were harvested at a sugar level of 22 degree balling, destemmed, crushed and immediately drained at the press. The free run and press juice was kept separately and cold fermented. After fermentation the free run and press juice was fined and blended together.

Winemaker : Francois Roode and Brett Rightford
For three generations the Sonnenberg family have been creating Diemersfontein moments on this iconic estate in Wellington. What started as a family retreat, is today the home of the world-class Diemersfontein range of wines, countryside hospitality, backed by a story of upliftment and empowerment.

The Western Cape wine region encompasses a collection of smaller sub-regions, each benefiting from some of the world’s oldest soils, a Mediterranean climate, and refreshing coastal winds. When a wine is comprised of grapes sourced from various sub-regions and its origin isn’t tied to one specific area, it is categorized under the 'Western Cape' label. This expansive region is renowned for producing a wide variety of wines, each with a unique character shaped by the Cape’s exceptional terroir.
