DeMorgenzon
De Morgenzon is Dutch for the morning sun a fitting name for this boutique property high on the Stellenboschkloof which is the first to be touched by the rising sun's rays. De Morgenzon's high altitude vineyards command sweeping views of Table Mountain and Cape Point where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. Embracing the philosophy that a biodiverse and ecologically sensitive environment produces infinitely better grapes proprietors Wendy and Hylton Appelbaum have established De Morgenzon as a 91 hectare garden interspersed with 55 hectares of carefully tended vineyards where abundant wildflowers flourish between the vines. The vineyards are currently farmed naturally and the estate is in the process of converting to organic farming.
Description
This Syrah displays a deep purple core with rich berry fruit aromas, including ripe red plum and hints of white pepper. Floral notes of violets, lavender, and spring blossoms add complexity. The palate offers layers of dark fruit flavors, complemented by spices such as pepper, cinnamon, clove, and vanilla. Gentle oak integration supports the wine's elegance and roundness, suggesting potential for graceful bottle maturation.
Food Pairing
This Syrah pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and dishes featuring robust flavors, complementing its rich and spicy profile.
