Diemersfontein started with their own cellar in 2001. They are proud to be amongst the several cellars in Wellington that are making waves in the wine industry. Their commitment is to "Wine of Origin - Wellington".
Diemersfontein grow approximately 70% of their grapes on their own Estate on soils that have been described as within "the top 5% soil quality in the land". The remainder of the grapes comes from other Wellington vineyards.
Their Flagship Range known as Carpe Diem, also made in their maiden year, reflects rigorous vineyard selection methods, harvested under conditions of optimal balance between chemical and physiological parameters. In the cellar it has longer maceration periods, and the wine is produced from mostly free-run juice.
It is matured in new French and American oak barrels for a minimum period of 15 months. These wines have achieved significant success in both South African and International markets and is admired for their additional elegance and fruit intensity.
