De Morgenzon

With a deep purple core, this wine presents a rich nose of berry fruits, dominated by ripe red plum with hints of white pepper. Subtle floral undertones of violets, lavender, and spring blossoms add complexity. Full-bodied and bursting with youthful vigour, it layers berry fruits over evolving spices of pepper, cinnamon, clove, and vanilla. The gentle integration of oak supports its early-age elegance and roundness, promising a nuanced and harmonious palate experience.

These vineyards are situated on the farm DeMorgenzon in the Stellenboschkloof. Soils are mostly weathered granite which gives the resultant wines a natural exuberance and youthful vigour. Planted in 2004 the trellised vineyard is managed to ensure natural high acidity and full flavour concentration. The yield was 8 tons per hectare. Following a cool and refreshing spring, the vineyards enjoyed an ideal progression leading up to budburst and berry set. These optimal conditions facilitated even bunch development, ensuring that fruit ripeness and flavour complexity evolved gradually and harmoniously over an extended growing period.

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.
