The Cape wine vintage of 2023 will be remembered as one of the wildest-weathered harvest seasons in recent history due to the incessant rain that hammered down over most of the Cape winelands from early March. Fortunately for the prized old-vineyard block of Chenin Blanc on Delheim Estate in Stellenbosch, this treasured vineyard ripened before the rain, with the general temperate weather experienced during the growing season resulting in one of the best Delheim Wild Ferment Chenin Blanc wines in years.
