The prestigious Delheim wine estate on the Simonsberg in Stellenbosch presents the Iconoclast Syrah, an exceptional, single-varietal wine that honors the legacy and pioneering spirit of South African wine legend Spatz Sperling. Produced only in outstanding vintages, this Syrah embodies the highest craftsmanship, uncompromising quality and the visionary philosophy of the winery. Iconoclast is no ordinary wine - it is a tribute to those who courageously question traditions and break new ground.

In the glass, the Delheim Iconoclast Syrah has a deep, dark, almost impenetrable color. The nose seduces with intense, vibrant aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackberry, black cherry and mulberry, accompanied by spicy herbs, subtle peppery notes and subtle hints of fine French oak. It reveals all its power and finesse on the palate: velvety tannins, lively acidity and an impressive structure lend it elegance and depth. The long, complex finish draws out like a perfect crescendo, in which fruit, spice and minerality combine to create a harmonious overall experience.

This dry red wine unfolds its extraordinary personality with grilled or braised lamb, roast beef and spicy game dishes. At 16-18 °C, it reveals its full aromatic diversity, the elegance of its texture and the sophistication that makes it one of South Africa's most fascinating wines - an experience for connoisseurs and aficionados alike.

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.

La Bri Syrah 1064 Bottles

With only 1064 bottles worldwide, this La Bri Syrah "1064" from Franschhoek in South Africa is a real rarity. The wine comes from a single vineyard with particularly low yields and impresses with its aromatic depth, intense spice and remarkable structure. A highly rated Syrah with 94 points in the Platter's Guide - expressive, limited and storable.The grapes for this wine were carefully selected from a single vineyard on the La Bri estate. After a one-week cold maceration, fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation and 24 months of ageing in French oak (partly new) ensure a complex, powerful yet elegant wine.The aroma of La Bri Syrah "1064" is intense and multi-layered. Ripe dark berries, fine dark chocolate, cloves and Mediterranean herbs dominate the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, juicy and structured with a long finish and fine spice.Like all limited release wines from La Bri, this Syrah also bears a floral symbolism. The inverted representation of the flower "Herbae" (herbs) reflects the wildly aromatic nature of this wine - a foray through the herb garden in liquid form.Perfect with rack of lamb with herb crust, braised game, ratatouille or mature hard cheese.Maturation potential: 8-10 years

Anthonij Rupert Syrah

The Anthonij Rupert Syrah comes from strictly selected vines from the Franschhoek Valley in South Africa. A pre-selection is made as early as the hand-picking stage. Only the best grapes find their way into the wine. Both the fermentation and the subsequent maturation, which lasts an average of 21 months, take place in French oak barrels. The Anthonij Rupert Syrah was then bottled unfiltered and matured for a further 2 years. The red wine has a wonderful aroma of violets, plums, raspberries and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is amazingly complex but extremely multi-faceted. Beautiful fruity notes are in harmony with spicy notes and a gently integrated tannin structure. The finish is also juicy, balanced and convincingly long.For a long evening in front of the fireplace or as an accompaniment to a festive meal, you will hardly find anything better. Open the wine at least two hours before drinking and give it some time to develop in the glass.

Boekenhoutskloof Syrah

The Boekenhoutskloof Syrah (Shiraz) offers a wonderful blend of fruit and spice on the nose. Notes of ripe, dark plums, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves come together here, wonderfully rounded off by nuances of white pepper and dark chocolate. On the palate, this red wine from South Africa is immediately very intense and full, with a sweetish spiciness. This Shiraz is exceptionally velvety and balanced, with pleasant acidity and finely polished tannins. Very good structure and a long, fruity finish. The grapes for the Boekenhoutskloof Syrah come from three different vineyards and are vinified separately in order to emphasize the characteristics of each terroir. The wine is matured in older barrels for up to 18 months. 4.5 out of a maximum possible 5 Platter stars for this taste experience from South Africa.

Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve

The Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve is an expressive and profound Cape Fortified Wine that continues the legacy of the Nel family. It is made from traditional Portuguese grape varieties that thrive on old vines in Calitzdorp. Only the best grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in open granite vats known as lagares. The color, structure and aromas are optimally extracted through intensive manual pigeage before the wine is fortified with fine wine distillate. It then matures for two years in old French oak barrels, where it develops its impressive depth and complexity.In the glass, the Cape Vintage Reserve is almost inky black with a violet shimmer. Intense notes of black berries, cranberries, cherries and violets unfold on the nose, accompanied by spices, fynbos and subtle hints of licorice and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is concentrated and powerful, with a firm structure and a dry, long finish - a wine that will gain elegance over many years.Serve the Boplaas Cape Vintage Reserve slightly decanted at 14-16 °C with braised meat, game, strong hard cheese, tapas or chocolate with a high cocoa content. In its youth, it is intense and spicy, but with a little maturity it develops a fascinating depth and harmony.
