Delheim - Chenin Blanc 2021
Delheim's 2021 Vintage Storyteller
Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment, a white wine that speaks volumes through its taste, is a captivating narrative in a glass.
Crafted from 100% Old Vine Chenin Blanc, this wine is not just a drink but a journey through flavors and history. Hailing from the prestigious Stellenbosch region, each grape in this vintage tells a story of tradition and meticulous winemaking.
This Chenin Blanc is a masterpiece of winemaking, showcasing a complexity that tickles the palate and excites the senses. With dominant notes of stone fruits and orange peel, coupled with a subtle hint of honeysuckle, it creates a flavor profile that is both nuanced and vibrant. The wine's rich texture, coupled with tangy acidity and a savory finish, make it a delightful experience for any wine enthusiast.
The Delheim Chenin Blanc Wild Ferment 2021 vintage has been recognized for its excellence, receiving 93 points from the Tim Atkin SA Special Report and a Bronze at the 2023 Investec Trophy Wine Show.
Nestled in the Simonsberg sub-region of the Stellenbosch Wine Routes, the Delheim Estate has a storied history in South African winemaking. The 2021 vintage is particularly special as it is the first to sport a Certified Heritage Vineyards seal, a testament to the old vines dating back to 1986.
The winemaker, Roelof Lotriet, employs a combination of traditional and innovative methods, such as using older oak barrels and concrete egg-shaped tanks for fermentation, to create this unique wine.
It complements a variety of dishes, especially those with a balance of rich and fresh flavors.

The Delheim Chenin Blanc is a fantastic choice for those looking for a refreshing and vibrant white wine. Its aromas of tropical fruits like guava and pineapple are mouthwatering, and the crisp acidity and abundance of clean fruit flavors make for a well-balanced palate. Without a doubt, I would recommend giving this wine a try if you want to explore a stylistic alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.
