Diemersdal Grüner Veltliner 2022

Diemersdal Wine Estate sits in the Durbanville Wine Valley, just north of Cape Town, where cool Atlantic breezes and well-drained soils create ideal conditions for elegant, aromatic whites. In 2013, Diemersdal launched South Africa's first-ever home-grown Grüner Veltliner — a bold move that has paid off handsomely. Austria's most widely planted white grape has found a natural second home here, producing a wine with real mineral character and food-friendly freshness.

About This Wine

A pioneering South African take on Grüner Veltliner, grown sustainably in the cool Durbanville sub-region of the Western Cape. Mineral, crisp, and food-friendly, it delivers the hallmark white pepper and citrus character of the variety with a distinctly South African freshness. An excellent choice for those who love Grüner from Austria but want to explore what the Cape can do.
