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
The 2024 vintage is a delicate white wine highlighting the vintage perfectly. Elder flower, lime drop acidity, and salivation. These are the sensory elements that will captivate the beholder. The palate is textured yet refined, the aromatic profile is feministic yet intense, and the flavour is nuanced yet focussed. A wine that will age exceptionally well, for those willing to wait.
Food Pairing
Serve with a mild butter chicken curry
