Why is it Special?

What makes the Harlequin special is its Seamless Versatility. It is designed to be the “Perfect Guest” at any occasion, from a formal dinner to a casual picnic. It is “Special” because it offers a Hybrid Profile—it gives you the dark fruit and subtle mocha hints of the famous Diemersfontein Pinotage, but adds the “savoury lift” and cracked black pepper notes of a premium Shiraz. It is a wine that refuses to be put in a box, offering a dynamic and engaging tasting experience for a remarkably accessible price.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A vibrant and multi-layered bouquet. Expect a primary burst of ripe plums and black cherries, followed by sophisticated layers of cracked black pepper, sweet spice, and a faint, seductive hint of mocha.

Palate: Juicy, medium-bodied, and wonderfully approachable. The palate is a lush tapestry of dark berry fruit, supported by silky, soft tannins. There is a beautiful tension between the savoury Shiraz spice and the sweet-fruited Pinotage core.

Finish: A clean, lingering finish that leaves a pleasant trail of baking spices and a final, refreshing whisper of toasty oak.

Product details

The Diemersfontein Harlequin is an innovative and highly expressive Cape Blend. By marrying the spicy, peppery elegance of Shiraz with the rich, fruit-driven soul of Pinotage, Diemersfontein has created a wine that is both structured and incredibly succulent. Matured with a combination of oak to enhance its natural richness, the Harlequin is a medium-to-full-bodied red that emphasises “deliciousness.” It bridges the gap between the estate’s famous “coffee” style and a more traditional spicy red, making it a multifaceted wine that reveals different layers with every sip.

Food Pairing

The Harlequin is a culinary gymnast, able to pair with an incredibly wide range of flavours. It is the perfect partner for Spicy Lamb Kebabs or a Mediterranean Platter featuring grilled halloumi and roasted peppers. Its unique fruit-and-spice profile makes it a spectacular match for Wood-fired Pizza topped with spicy salami, or a Classic Beef Lasagna. For a South African twist, try it with Biltong and Cream Cheese Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers—the wine’s fruitiness balances the heat perfectly. It is also "Special" when served alongside Duck Confit, where the Shiraz spice cuts through the richness of the meat.
