Dieu Donne means "God
Given". Once you've
experienced the spirituality,
natural beauty and
unparalleled views and vistas
around Dieu Donne, you will
understand why.
Dieu Donne – dating back to
1855 - is a delightful haven of
peace and tranquility in the
most beautiful valley in South
Africa: the picturesque and
world renowned wine
producing enclave of
Franschhoek.
Dieu Donne is situated high on
the steep southwest facing
slopes of the Franschhoek
Mountains. Here the sun is
tempered, ensuring slow
ripening of our grapes. And
thanks to cool summer
conditions and Dieu Donne's
unique soil strata of Hutton and
Clovelly from weathered
granite with a rocky top soil,
found only in this corner of the
Valley, the vines do not show
excessive vigour, nor do they
over-produce. This exceptional
terroir gives Dieu Donne wines
their special character.
The view from Dieu Donne is
well-known among those who
wish to identify the famous
landmarks of Franschhoek,
watch the sun setting over the
Simonsberg Mountains, or just
love enjoying a glass of wine
during a picnic at this scenic
spot. |
