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
The De Morgenzon Chenin Blanc Reserve 2022 offers a complex and refined tasting experience. The nose opens with rich aromas of ripe peach, apricot, and fragrant floral notes, underpinned by hints of toasted almond and vanilla. On the palate, it showcases a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering flavors of pear, honeyed citrus, and Golden Delicious apple. The oak influence is well-integrated, providing subtle notes of nutmeg and flint, which add depth and complexity. The finish is long and lingering, showcasing a balance of richness and finesse.
Food Pairing
This Chenin Blanc pairs well with rich seafood dishes, roasted chicken, and creamy pastas. Its vibrant acidity and complex flavors also make it an excellent match for dishes with buttery or nutty elements.
