Dieu Donné Vineyards

Dieu Donne

Dieu Donné is situated high on the steep south-west facing slopes of the Franschhoek Mountains, which tempers the sun. These two cooling effects ensure slow ripening of our grapes. Thanks to our cool summer conditions and unique soils from weathered granite with a rocky topsoil, called 'Greywack', the vines do not show excessive vigour, nor do they over produce.

These special soils do not get irrigated, further concentrating the flavours and characters of Dieu Donné's terroir in the grapes. These exceptional conditions give Dieu Donné wines their special character. Wine-maker Stephan du Toit, is one of the few South African wine-makers with the distinction of being a Cape Wine Master. He is a man for the outdoors and loves adventure sports. Paragliding is among his pastimes. He is an eager white water kyaker, spear-fisherman and kite surfer.
