DeMorgenzon
A hidden garden vineyard deep in the Stellenbosch Kloof, with sweeping views across False Bay to Cape Town, lies DeMorgenzon - a name derived from Dutch origin for “the morning sun.” From its hilltop manor, this prestigious and graceful family estate is home to Wendy and Hylton Appelbaum. Classical music drifts through the garden vineyards. The earth has music for those who listen. Viticulturally, DeMorgenzon has predominantly south-facing slopes create a cooler microclimate in an otherwise warm region. This allows for the production of finely poised, ethereal Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay, as well as sophisticated, highly aromatic Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. In keeping with their vinous philosophy, the estate is farmed regeneratively, fostering biodiversity and soil vitality to create a balanced, living ecosystem in the vineyards.
Description
This Chardonnay presents aromas of white peach and citrus blossom. The palate is rich and intense, featuring waves of ripe pear, citrus, and a subtle floral lift, all supported by well-judged oak notes. The finish is lingering, with fresh mineral tones.
Food Pairing
This Chardonnay pairs well with freshly caught grilled fish, complementing the wine's fresh mineral tones and citrus notes.
