iemersdal and Groot Phesantekraal made history when both wine farms managed a unique achievement: they not only won double gold each in the Veritas Awards recently, but both also won the FNB Top 10 Sauvignon Blanc Awards last week with the same wines. Diemersdal was one of the top achievers at the Veritas Awards op 6 October, walking away with three double gold and four gold medals. One of its double gold winners, the Maiden Winter Ferment Sauvignon Blanc 2017, delivered its third major accolade for the wine estate. Besides double gold at the Veritas Awards and an FNB Top 10 Sauvignon Blanc Award, the wine also won the Sauvignon Blanc Trophy at the South African National Young Wine Show.

Revolutionary wine­making process The wine is made using a revolutionary wine-making process where the Sauvignon Blanc juice is frozen during the harvest in February and then thawed five months later, after which it is fermented to produce a wine with exceptional tropical flavours. “The FNB Sauvignon Blanc Top 10 is a very special award, as it is the only one committed to honouring the finest Sauvignon Blanc wines in South Africa,” says Thys Louw, cellar master at Diemersdal. “Close to 200 wines were judged this year, and to make it among the Top 10 is a high-

light for any producer of wine in this most popular white wine category,” he says. Louw adds that 2017 has proven to be an “absolutely brilliant year” for Sauvignon Blanc, with some of the best quality wines he has ever seen emerging from his sixth generation-owned family estate. Louw says that Sauvignon Blanc has the potential to make major inroads for South African wine into export markets, especially the sought-after American market. “The global demand for and awareness of Sauvignon Blanc is at an all-time high,” he says.

Two double gold awards for Diemersdal Groot Phesantekraal achieved its FNB Top 10 Sauvignon Blanc Award with its Groot Phesantekraal Sauvignon Blanc 2017 – the second time the wine farm has won an award in the five years this prestigious competition has existed. Diemersdal’s other Veritas double gold awards went to its Diemersdal’s Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2017, making the wine estate the only producer to win two double gold awards for Sauvignon Blanc this year. Diemersdal also won double gold for its Diemersdal Malbec 2015. This was the only Malbec entered into Veritas 2017 to receive a double gold. Gold medals went to the Eight Rows Sauvignon Blanc 2017, Merlot 2015, Pinotage 2016 and Pinotage Reserve 2016. Mari Branders, a winemaker at Diemersdal since 2006, says this year’s Veritas Awards are of great significance to the estate, as they recognise innovation and versatility. V To page 3.
