About the Winery
Diemersfontein has belonged to the Sonnenberg family for 3 generations, dating back to the early 1940s. David’s grandfather, Max, bought the 183-hectare farm, which lies in the shadow of the majestic Hawekwa Mountains and boasts a panoramic view of both Du Toit’s Kloof and Bains’ Kloof mountain ranges.
Diemersfontein Rosé 2020
About the wine
The Diemersfontein Rosé 2020 is a pale peach colour with soft tones of raspberry, strawberry and candy floss. The delicate and smooth berry flavours follow through to the palate with a medium body and a lingering dry finish.
This Rosé goes brilliantly with all sorts of food. Its ample body and wonderful aroma make it a notable and exciting combination. It’s fantastic with sushi, but also try it with Camembert and Brie, Paella or Grilled chicken.

Winemaking process
The grapes were harvested at a sugar level of 22 degrees balling, destemmed, crushed and immediately drained at the press. The free run and press juice were kept separately and cold fermented. After fermentation, the free-run and press juice was fined and blended together.
