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 vintage displays an alluring bouquet of ripe yellow peach, apricot and orange blossom, layered with notes of citrus peel, honeycomb, and fynbos nuances. The palate is generous yet finely poised, combining richness and texture with remarkable freshness. Flavours of stonefruit, preserved lemon and pear unfold across the palate, culminating in a long, layered finish marked by subtle spice and mineral tension.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with a wide variety of seafood dishes, especially shellfish, cod, lobster and crab.
