Why is it Special?

What makes Diemersfontein Shiraz special is its “Wellington Warmth.” The region’s specific climate allows for a ripeness that creates a Naturally Opulent Mouthfeel and a soft tannin structure. It is “Special” because it offers Aromatic Depth—giving you a complex bouquet of “baked earth,” “cigar box,” and “dark fruit” that feels incredibly indulgent. It is the go-to bottle for the wine lover who wants a Shiraz that is as warm and welcoming as a Wellington summer evening.

Platter’s Wine Guide: 4 Stars

Tasting Notes

Nose: A rich and inviting bouquet. Expect intense aromas of baked plums and black cherries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, dried herbs, and a hint of smoky tobacco.

Palate: Full-bodied, concentrated, and remarkably smooth. The palate is a dense tapestry of blackberry preserves and mulberry, supported by firm but velvety tannins. There is a beautiful core of savoury spice and toasty oak.

Finish: A long and lingering finish. It leaves a savoury trail of clove, cinnamon, and a final, aristocratic whisper of dark chocolate.

Product details

The Diemersfontein Shiraz is a powerful and deeply aromatic red that showcases the unique terroir of Wellington. Grown in deep, manganese-rich soils, the grapes develop an intense concentration of flavour and colour. Matured for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak, this wine is a full-bodied masterpiece. It strikes a perfect balance between the dark, jammy fruit characteristic of the region and the savoury, white pepper spice that defines the varietal. It is a velvety Shiraz that offers a “generous” palate and a structured elegance that has become the estate’s hallmark.

Food Pairing

The Diemersfontein Shiraz is a "robust" wine that demands a meal with bold flavors and rich textures. It is the ultimate companion for Slow-Roasted Venison with a balsamic glaze or a Thick-Cut Sirloin Steak topped with a creamy peppercorn sauce. Its smoky nuances make it a spectacular match for Traditional South African Braaivleis, particularly spicy lamb chops or "sosaties" (kebabs). For a casual favourite, enjoy it with a Gourmet Mushroom Burger or a plate of Smoked Beef Biltong. It is "Special" when served alongside Matured Cheddar, where the wine’s fruit purity balances the savoury salt of the cheese.
