Tasting Note

91 Points, Neal Martin, 2024-2034 Vinous The 2020 Chenin Blanc DeMorgenzon Reserve has quite a neutral bouquet that needs a bit of coaxing from the glass. This feels as if it is holding something back for later. The palate is very well balanced with a nicely balanced opening, though it does not quite "kick on" like the 2019 did on the finish. Cellar this for a couple of years. Review Date: 29 Sep 22

About the Producer

The DeMorgenzon estate is based in Stellenbosch and was originally part of the Uiterwyk Estate, one of the oldest estates on the Cape dating back to 1679. The name ‘DeMorgenzon’ means ‘the morning sun’ and is so named as it lies in the first section of the Stellenboschkloof Valley to benefit from the sun each day. Given its aspect and high altitude of 200 to 400 metres above sea level, it is a cool site in an otherwise hot viticultural region. Back in 2017, Neal Martin wrote that, “DeMorgenzon continues to set the pace for outstanding Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc’. This impressive estate extends over 91 hectares and is owned by the Applebaum family. In 2021, they employed winemaker, Alastair Rimmer, former Cellar Master at Kleine Salze, who shares their commitment to subtle and well-attuned winemaking, focusing on purity and clearly-expressed fruit. They have a commitment to biodiversity and rewilding their land at DeMorgenzon, having set aside approximately 10% of their land for the restoration of the Cape Floral Kingdom habitat known as Renosterveld.
