Diemersdal is our favourite wine estate!! This is the only wine estate that my boyfriend and I have gone out of our way to drive to the estate to buy cases of their wine (already knowing which wines we want to buy).
Since their restaurant opened this year we have been there twice, both times on Fridays to enjoy their R100 (I think I heard that it is now R120) tapas platter and will continue to go back. The price of the Diemersdal wine is at the same price as cellar door, our favourite wine is the Grenache.
While at Diemersdal we decided to do another tasting. The tasting room manager Pierre-Benn is a real asset to this wine estate. He makes everyone feel so welcome and he knows the wine so well. We tasted several of their wines while there. We liked the Chardonnay unwooded 2013 at R54 a bottle, the Sauvignon Rose 2013 at R45 a bottle, Grenache 2011 at R95 a bottle, Merlot 2012 at R72 a bottle, Pinotage Reserve 2012 at R100 a bottle, and Private Collection 2011 at R100 a bottle.
I highly recommend visiting this wine estate when you are in Cape Town!! You will receive great service, taste fantastic wine and you can enjoy a lovely lunch without it costing you a pretty penny. Enjoy :-)
