Delheim
High on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain 50 km from Cape Town lies the family-owned Delheim estate. Here the Sperling family has been making wines of character for over 8 decades. Delheim is one of the Cape’s most beloved wineries thanks to the premier terroir that shines through its excellent wines; the tradition of sustainable farming and winemaking it embraces; and, a rich heritage as a family-owned and run enterprise. Visitors to our beautiful farm will be greeted by breathtaking views and welcomed by a true sense of family hospitality! Unique wine tastings can be enjoyed, lunch with a view of Table Mountain in the distance and our eco-passion Wine & Fynbos Cupcake pairing entertains those with a love for both nature and the sweeter side of life. We produce a range of award-winning wines led by the majestic Grand Reserve which since its release in 1981 has been honoured with much prestigious recognition. Our ever-popular Pinotage Rosé (the 1st of its kind to be produced in South Africa in 1976) and the quirky Spatzendreck dessert wine produced back in 1961,are just some of the other favourites which have helped to turn Delheim into a household name. A holistic approach to community and land to wine making and to enduring good business practices is what sustains Delheim. The aim has always been to nurture a strong culture of sustainable development on the farm and within the community that grows up and works together on the Delheim estate.
Description
This Chardonnay is light vibrant gold in colour with a green hue. Granny Smith apples, citrus, stone fruit and quince with subtle nuances of oak on the nose, follows through on the subtle, but well-structured palate. Elegant and well-balanced with a mineral touch on the finish.
Food Pairing
Chardonnay pairs well with oily, flaky fish, chicken breast and soft or semi soft cheeses.
