Diemersdal is located on the cool slopes of the Durbanville wine region, one of the oldest in the Cape, renowned for the excellence of its wines, the fruit of its unique terroir. The ancient soils of decomposed granite, rich in moisture-retaining clay, provide an ideal base for many grape varieties. In terms of climate, Diemersdal's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean to the west gives it a temperate climate, with mild summers and cold, wet winters, with average rainfall of 700 mm per year. In summer, a cool, persistent south-easterly breeze allows Diemersdal's vines to escape the summer heat, enabling them to ripen evenly and healthily, one of the characteristics of the estate. Approximately 200 hectares of Diemersdal are planted with various grape varieties, with Sauvignon Blanc being the dominant variety.
