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 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.
