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 delightful dry rosé blend harmoniously marries the richness of Syrah with the subtle fruit of Grenache Noir. On the nose, vibrant aromas of in ripe strawberries and tangy raspberries, dance alongside subtle hints of dried herbs and delicate floral undertones, creating an inviting bouquet. The palate is greeted by a crisp and refreshing acidity, accompanied by a medley of watermelon and juicy red cherries, leading to a satisfyingly dry and lingering finish.
Food Pairing
Perfect with summer dishes such as salads, seafood, grilled chicken and light pasta. It also pairs well with Mediterranean cuisine, sushi and soft cheeses.
