Delheim, Chenin Blanc 2023

Delheim Winery: An Icon of South African Winemaking and Sustainability

Sourced from various vineyards in South Africa’s Coastal Region, the grapes are carefully destemmed, crushed, and gently pressed. The juice undergoes cold fermentation in stainless steel and concrete tanks, followed by several months of aging on the lees (‘sur lie’). This process enhances complexity and creates a richer, creamier texture.

Nestled in the prestigious Stellenbosch wine region at the foot of the majestic Simonsberg Mountain, this historic winery is renowned worldwide for its exceptional wines and deep-rooted winemaking tradition dating back to the early 20th century. In 1938, Hans Otto Hoheisen and his wife Deli acquired the estate. Later, the Sperling family took over, and under the leadership of Michael and Vera Sperling in the 1950s, it became a leading name in the South African wine industry.

Over the decades, the winery has built a reputation for blending traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation, resulting in wines of outstanding quality. Alongside its iconic Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, the estate offers a diverse range of premium wines that reflect the unique terroir of Stellenbosch.

What truly sets this winery apart is its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Actively investing in eco-friendly viticulture and community projects, it not only produces world-class wines but also makes a meaningful impact on the environment and society.

With breathtaking landscapes, a rich historical legacy, and award-winning wines, this Stellenbosch estate remains an unmissable destination for wine enthusiasts worldwide. A visit promises an authentic and unforgettable experience in the heart of South Africa’s wine country.
