Print product information sheet

With the Iconoclast Cabernet Franc, the Delheim winery in Simonsberg presents an expressive red wine with a clear origin and unmistakable character. The vines thrive in the Vaaldraai vineyard on weathered granite soils of the Oakleaf profile - a unique combination of soil, slope and altitude of 220 to 260 meters above sea level. These conditions give the wine its depth, structure and elegant spiciness.

The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand and processed gently. After destemming and light crushing, temperature-controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, followed by a two-week maceration period to intensify structure and complexity. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tanks before the wine matures for 18 months in French oak barrels. This careful barrel selection results in a balanced, multi-layered wine with elegance and depth.

In the glass, the Delheim Iconoclast Cabernet Franc presents itself with an intense, deep dark color. The nose reveals a complex interplay of aromas of dark berries, cassis, herbs and fine spices, underpinned by subtle toasted and woody notes. On the palate, it is structured and full-bodied with velvety tannins, lively acidity and a long, harmonious finish.

This dry red wine is an excellent accompaniment to hearty meat dishes such as lamb stew, braised dishes or mature cheese. At a serving temperature of 16-18 °C, the wine shows all its elegance and depth.

Delheim Wines

Das Weingut Delheim liegt hoch auf den südlichen Hängen des Simonsbergs in Südafrika. Seinen Ursprung hat das Weingut auf einer Farm, auf der anfangs nur Obstbäume und Krüppelholz wuchsen. Sie wird bereits im Jahre 1699 erstmalig in der Geschichte erwähnt; damals noch unter dem Namen Drie Sprong.

Im Jahr 1938 kaufte der Deutsche Hans Hoheisen die Farm als Altersruhesitz für sich und seine Frau Deli. Nach seiner Frau benannte er auch die Farm: Delheim – Deli’s Heim. 1940 begannen die Hoheisens auf Anraten von Freunden Weinstöcke anzupflanzen. Hoheisens Neffe Michael Sperling unterstützte seinen Onkel seit 1951 und übernahm 1957 das Weingut komplett. Michael Sperling genannt „Spatz“ führte das Weingut zu weltweitem Ruhm. Es zählt heute zu den renommiertesten Weingütern in der Region Stellenbosch und ist auch in Deutschland ein Begriff. Hier werden Weine mit beständig hoher Qualität und ungewöhnlichen Namen hervorgebracht. Inzwischen sorgt mit Viktor und Nora Sperling die Generation nach „Spatz“ dafür, dass die Delheim-Weine weiterhin erstklassig sind.

Wichtigste Strategie von Delheim Wines ist die gleichbleibend hohe Qualität der Weine. 5 Sterne von John Platter, 92 Punkte vom britischen Wine Magazine für den Vera Cruz Shiraz, und der Delheim Sauvignon Blanc 2001 gelangte in die Auswahl für die 100 Topweine auf der Sydney International Wine Competition. Auch die Cabernet Sauvignons werden stets wärmstens empfohlen.

Delheim Vera Cruz Pinotage
Delheim Vera Cruz Pinotage
Der Delheim Vera Cruz Pinotage hat ein tiefes Pupurrot. In der Nase zeigen sich bei dem Rotwein Noten von reifen dunklen Früchten, integrierte Vanille- und Toffeenoten und ein Hauch von Gewürzen. Am Gaumen ist der Wein aus Südafrika saftig, voll und rund mit einem langen Abgang.Dieser Pinotage stammt von einer Einzellage mit unbewässerten bush-vines, also Reben ohne Drahtrahmenerziehung. Natürlicher Weingenuss par excellence. Die Trauben für den reinsortigen Pinotage aus Stellenbosch in Südafrika wurden akribisch gelesen; es wurden nur die besten Trauben bester Qualität geerntet. Die erste Sortierung wurde bereits in den Weinbergen vorgenommen. Der Delheim Vera Cruz Pinotage reifte für 18 Monate in 300L und 500L Fässern aus französischer Eiche, wobei zu 35% neue Fässer zum Einsatz kamen.

Eikendal Infused by Earth Cabernet Franc
Eikendal Infused by Earth Cabernet Franc
This exceptional Eikendal Infused by Earth Cabernet Franc comes from a particularly barren and stony section of the Classique vineyard, characterized by so-called "Koffieklip", deep clay and weathered granite. The vines grow there without artificial irrigation under natural stress conditions - the result: small, highly concentrated berries that produce a powerful yet elegant red wine.The grapes are harvested selectively in three stages of ripeness - from pre-fruit-fresh to fruit-fresh to ripe - which gives the wine a fascinatingly complex spectrum of aromas. A small proportion of whole grapes provides additional freshness and mineral notes. After a particularly long maceration period and natural spontaneous fermentation, the wine is matured for 12 months in 500-liter French oak barrels, whereby untoasted barriques do not mask the fine varietal character.In the glass, the Eikendal Cabernet Franc impresses with intense aromas of dark berries, herbs, fine spices and a hint of graphite. The well-integrated acidity, silky tannins and mineral undertone make it an extremely exciting and long-lasting red wine.Serving tip: This wine develops particularly harmoniously at a serving temperature of 18-20 °C. It is the perfect culinary accompaniment to aromatic dishes such as lamb meatballs in tomato sauce, roast turkey with cranberry sauce or warm camembert with rosemary - a highlight for any autumn/winter menu.Ageing potential: up to 20 years - ideal for collectors and lovers of characterful red wines.
