Diemersfontein The Prodigy Pinotage

Diemersfontein The Prodigy Pinotage is a red wine from the Wellington region of South Africa. The wine is made from the unique South African Pinotage grape variety, which was created by crossing Pinot Noir and Cinsault.

Diemersfontein has earned an excellent reputation for its Pinotage wines and is particularly known for its quality products. This Pinotage is young and refreshing, unlike the other wines in the Diemersfontein Pinotage and Carpe Diem Reserve range. The name "The Prodigy" is intended to express the fact that this wine radiates a special claim to youthfulness and liveliness. The Prodigy Pinotage presents aromas of dark red fruits such as black cherries and blackberries. On the palate, these are enveloped by notes of plums, strawberries and spices.

Diemersfontein The Prodigy Pinotage is multi-layered and balanced and is therefore an excellent accompaniment to grilled meats, roast duck or lamb dishes.

Diemersfontein Wine

Nur 45 Autominuten von Kapstadt entfernt liegt Diemersfontein in unmittelbarer Nähe der berühmten Weinstraße am Kap. Bekannt ist Diemersfontein vor allem für seinen herausragenden Pinotage.

Seit den frühen 1940er Jahren ist Diemersfontein im Besitz der Familie Sonnenberg. Max Sonnenberg kaufte die 183 Hektar große Farm, die im Schatten der majestätischen Hawekwa Mountains liegt und mit einem Panoramablick auf die beiden Berge Du Toit Kloof und Bains Kloof ihre Besucher begeistert. Im Mittelpunkt des Weingutes liegen malerische Gärten, die von Cecilia Sonnenberg entworfen wurden. Unzählige Rosen und Azaleen bieten mit ihrer Blütenpracht den Rahmen für festliche Anlässe.

Die ersten Weinberge wurden in den 1970er-Jahren gepflanzt und im Jahr 2000 baute David Sonennberg seinen eigenen Keller und begann mit der Produktion preisgekrönter Gutsweine. Die Rebflächen sind mit Shiraz, Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot ausgelegt, aber auch die „weniger bekannten“ Rebsorten Viognier, Barbera, Roobernet und Mouvedre werden hier erfolgreich angebaut. Bekannt wurde Diemersfontein vor allem für seinen herausragenden Pinotage.

Other batches were pasteurized and immediately fermented on oak to achieve the dark, rich coffee flavors. Still other batches were fermented conventionally on the skins and pumped over several times during alcoholic fermentation and racked into French oak to complete fermentation. All batches were stabilized by malolactic fermentation in French oak.
