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
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.
