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
Deep, purple core. Rich, berry fruit aromas with abundant ripe red plum and subtle whiffs of white pepper. Floral undertones of violets, lavender, and spring blossoms. On the palate, dark fruit flavors emerge alongside warming spice notes—white pepper, cinnamon, clove, and vanilla—supported by a gentle integration of oak, suggesting a long and graceful maturation ahead.
Food Pairing
De Morgenzon’s DMZ Syrah generally pairs wonderfully with grilled or roasted meats (such as lamb, beef, or game), hearty stews, and mature or intensely flavored cheeses—complemented by the wine’s rich fruit and spicy complexity.
