PROFILE | DEMORGENZON
T
HE MORNING SUN “The morning sun”, a translation from the Dutch DeMorgenzon, is a fitting name for this Cape First Growth estate. It is the first high above the Stellenboschkloof valley to be touched by the sun’s rising rays. DeMorgenzon has grown into the essence of a beautiful Cape estate since the purchase in 2003 by prescient proprietors, Wendy and Hylton Appelbaum. DeMorgenzon has since achieved a rapid rise to success as one of the Cape’s finest estates in producing worldclass wines, crafted in perfect harmony with nature. The sweeping vistas and sprawling scenery from the tasting room encourage you to explore the incredible beauty of the estate. It is an inviting and beautiful space, that serves as a memorable oasis for all who visit.

GARDEN VINEYARDS Captured in every bottle of wine is the beauty of the exquisite gardens. DeMorgenzon has cultivated itself as a 91-hectare garden interspersed with 55-hectares of carefully tended vineyards and a picturesque addition of olive orchards. The estate’s ethos follows that of a biodiverse and ecologically sensitive environment that produces infinitely better grapes. Approximately 10% of DeMorgenzon is dedicated to the conservation of Renosterveld; one of the most threatened biomes of the Cape Floral Kingdom. DEVINE MUSIC A continuation of tapping into your senses is the Baroque and early Classical music which plays across the estate to the vines and wines in the cellar. Hylton Appelbaum, a classical music connoisseur, is a firm believer in the positive effects of melodic sound energy. This benefits the growth of the vine, the fruit it bears and therefore supplements the success of the wines.
