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

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.
