Delheim Chenin Blanc

A renowned winery that has achieved much through trial and error. Through trial and error, innovation, and experimentation, Delheim wines are now immensely popular with wine lovers. A romantic, yet true, story. When the estate was purchased in 1938, the intention wasn't to establish a winery. On the contrary, Hans Otto Hoheisen and his wife Deli wanted to enjoy their well-deserved retirement there. However, nephew Michael Sperling began experimenting in the vineyards surrounding the estate, a practice that was picked up by international wine connoisseurs in the 1960s.

The vineyards of Delheim

The Delheim estate is located in the heart of Stellenbosch, one of South Africa's most beautiful wine regions. The breathtaking scenery, combined with the perfect climate, makes Stellenbosch one of the most beautiful wine regions in the world. The vineyards lie at the foot of the mighty Simonsberg Mountains, which form a natural barrier against extreme weather conditions. One of Delheim's flagship wines is Chenin Blanc, which is planted in abundance. The grapes are cold fermented, which ensures that Delheim Chenin Blanc retains its freshness.
