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
Lifted aromatics of lime zest, gooseberry, passion fruit and white peach, complimented by delicate notes of fresh-cut herbs, snap pea and fragrant Cape fynbos. The palate is bright, focussed and elegantly textured, revealing layers of grapefruit, ripe kiwi and green melon, magnified by the natural acidity from our granitic soils.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with light summertime fare, such as avocado and prawn pasta or seafood linguine.
