A combination of local and international experience spanning more than a decade in the growing and selection of fine wines enables Nico to identify the finest vineyards in the Western Cape for Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Vinified in a ver personal and traditional way and matured to perfection in the French oak barrels for 14 months.

Deep violet-ruby colour, floral, smoky, prune, black olive and spice aromes.  Medium- to full-bodied with rich dark berry flavours and a long finish.

Diemersfontein Carpe Diem Pinotage has inviting flavours of raspberries, cherries and pencil shavings on the notes, followed with rich fruit flavours of plum and berries, rounding it all off with supple tannins on the palate.

Great with roast duck, lamb casseroles and even chocolate soufflé.  South African staples Bobotie, Bunny Chow and Braai all begs for a glass of Pinotage!
