Delheim medium bodied Pinotage truly showcases the unique profile of this varietal grown in the Stellenbosch region. Rich crimson colour with a lively hue. Juicy, red fruit flavours supported by undertones of perfume and cloves are detected on the nose. Cranberry and savoury flavours with hints of rich plum, flesh out the middle palate. A soft and elegant finish, along with subtle oak, results in the perfect balance. High on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, 50 km from Cape Town, lies the family-owned Delheim estate. The Sperling family has been making wines of character for many decades and takes a holistic approach to community and land, to wine making and to enduring good business practices. Their aim has always been to nurture a strong culture of sustainable development on the farm and within the community that grows up and works together on the Delheim estate.
