Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment

The grapes for the Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment come from two different blocks or vineyards on the Delheim estate in South Africa. The grapes were harvested at different times. The grapes harvested around 14 days earlier were destemmed and pressed directly. The longer-ripened grapes were pressed with stems, which gives the juice a stronger character. After the juice was separated from the rest of the grapes, it was placed in 500 liter barrels for natural fermentation. This fermentation on the fine lees lasted around 3 months, after which the fermentation was stopped by clarification. No filtering took place in order to preserve the aromatic compounds in the wine.

The Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment has a straw-yellow color with greenish reflections. The nose reveals aromas of peach, apricot and other tropical fruits. A subtle hint of caramel can also be detected. The beautifully balanced acidity and light barrel aromas underpin these impressions on the palate. A citrus note underlines the balance between fruit and acidity.

In combination with goat's cheese, smoked salmon or Asian cuisine, this white wine is a real treat.
This wine is vegan.

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.
