The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The latest sensation from Delheim Winery. A beautiful winery founded over 80 years ago. Originally not as a winery, but as an estate where Germans Hans Otto Hoheisen and his wife Deli wanted to enjoy their retirement. The vineyards surrounding the manor house were intended purely as a hobby. However, Deli's nephew had other ideas. Without any knowledge of grapes or wine, he began experimenting, through trial and error, until his work was picked up by various international wine enthusiasts in the early 1960s. To this day, Delheim's South African wines are still praised by many wine drinkers.
Delheim Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is a wonderful blend of two grape varieties that thrive in South Africa, thanks in part to the stable and often warm climate. Firstly, Cabernet Sauvignon, an internationally renowned and beloved wine, provides the necessary fruitiness in this wine. Delheim's winemaker also uses Shiraz. This grape variety is highly tolerant of extreme temperatures and other conditions, making it ideal for growing in Stellenbosch. Shiraz gives wines character, depth, and the necessary complexity. The grapes are vinified separately, after which both grapes are aged separately for 13 months in French oak. The final blend is then created.
A truly exciting wine, one that wine lovers will absolutely love. And at this price? We could hardly believe it. Delheim Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz has it all. Depth, oak, and spice, but never too heavy or heavy. The aroma is alluring and tempts you to take a sip. You smell ripe plums, blueberries, and a hint of cherry. Spices tickle your nose. A bitter note of dark chocolate completes the aroma. One sip and you're hooked, almost smitten. Delheim Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is the red wine you've always been looking for. The fruit is clearly present, but herbs, spices, and dark chocolate provide a pleasant contrast. Perfection in its purest form!
