Diemersdal Chardonnay Reserve 2024

Diemersdal Wine Estate is located in the Durbanville Wine Valley, just north of Cape Town, where cool Atlantic breezes and well-drained soils create ideal conditions for elegant, structured whites. The Reserve Chardonnay is a premium, barrel-fermented expression of the variety — complex, rich, and built for the table, showcasing what Durbanville's cool-climate terroir can do with this international variety.

About This Wine
