DeMorgenzon
DeMorgenzon, ‘the morning sun,’ was so named as it is the first part of the Stellenboschkloof valley to see the sun because of its high altitude and aspects. We cover the top southern and eastern slopes of Ribbokkop, overlooking the pinnacle of Kanonkop from where a cannon was fired to alert the farms in the region that a ship had put into Table Bay. The first road from Cape Town to Stellenbosch ran through the Stellenbosch Kloof.
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.
