Our History

Anno 1698

1660

Jan Pietersz Broertjie Louw becomes a free burgher from the VOC and is granted 40 morgen of land next to the Liesbeek River in Rondebosch. Here, on the farm Louwvliet, Broertjie Louw becomes the first commercially successful wine-farmer at the Cape. After his death, the Louw familie continue to produce wine on Louwvliet until 1724.

1698

Simon van der Stel grants farmland in Durbanville to free burgher, Hendrik Sneewind. Later, the farm changed hands to Captain Diemer when he married the widow Sneewind, and thus Diemersdal was formally established.

1702

An inventory found in an old leather-bound book on Diemersdal dating back to 1702 lists 45 wine barrels, a wine press and glass bottles, indicating that wine has been made on the Estate for over three centuries.

1885

The first generation of the Louw family make Diemersdal their home, continuing the winemaking legacy of the forebears on this historical estate.

1979

Diemersdal is officially declared as a Wine Estate and releases its first wine under an own label – Diemersdal Private Collection

1990

Having identified Sauvignon Blanc as a variety with tremendous potential in South Africa and with Diemersdal’s cool-climate terroir being ideal for growing this grape, Diemersdal releases its first Sauvignon Blanc.

2006

Thys Louw begins working on Diemersdal as the sixth generation from the Louw family to do so. The first wine made by Thys, Eight Rows Sauvignon Blanc, is released.
