Diemersdal Private Collection 2022

Diemersdal Wine Estate represents the pinnacle of Durbanville winemaking — a historic estate with over three centuries of wine production, now in the hands of the sixth generation of the Louw family. The Private Collection is the estate's flagship wine: a classic Bordeaux blend crafted from the finest barrels of each vintage, built for the cellar and designed to reward patience.

About This Wine

A premium Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc from Durbanville, farmed sustainably. Deep, complex, and age-worthy, it delivers the full range of Bordeaux variety character — dark fruit, cedar, chocolate, and cassis — with the structure and elegance that Durbanville's cool-climate terroir provides. Long and smooth now, with an intriguing character that will continue to develop for years to come.
