Dominant fragrances on stone fruits and orange peel held together by a subtle hint of caramel. Vibrant fruit with plentiful mouth feel and lasting finish are in beautiful harmony on the palate. A truly beautiful display of sublime vineyards, minimal intervention winemaking, and mother nature. 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.
