Planted in 2006 and having in the past contributed to award-winning wine, the Duikersdrift Shiraz vineyard was, for a number of years under previous ownership, reserved for exclusive personal use. The current owners, on purchasing the farm, believed that the exceptional potential of the vineyard was not being realised and in 2018 began the process of nurturing the vines through the drought with a view to creating a new and dynamic range of wines under the Duikersdrift label. This process was managed by our dedicated team and overseen by winemaker Dirk Swanepoel of the nearby Oude Compagnies Post Winery. This is where Duikersdrift grapes are turned into bottled magic with absolutely no compromise on quality. The maiden vintage of 2020 has not disappointed, with a sublime Shiraz and a classy Chenin. With further nurturing and increased yields after a bumper 2021 harvest, we are excited with the early showing of our Port and Red Blend and cannot wait to have these on show later in the year!

WINE
Our philosophy is that life is too short for bad wine! Making good wine is like creating art, with each harvest providing a blank canvas for the expression of creative flair on the part of the wine-maker while using the palette of ripe berries at their disposal. Like art, the enjoyment of wine is very subjective with the many styles and varietals appealing to different people. The emphasis at Duikersdrift is to create easy-drinking wines that blend seamlessly with good food and our relaxed family atmosphere.
The Greater Cape Winelands area is prone to droughts so why not save water and give our wines a try!
