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 offers aromas of white flowers, stone fruit, honey, and toasted notes. The palate is complex and opulent, with flavors of ripe pear, orange blossom, caramel, and spices. It balances lush fruit with a crisp acidity, giving it a luxurious yet refreshing finish.
Food Pairing
This Chenin Blanc pairs well with rich seafood, roasted poultry, and creamy pasta dishes, balancing its full-bodied texture with refreshing acidity.
