Edelspatz, the icon Noble Late Harvest Riesling from Simonsberg wine estate Delheim, reaffirmed its status as one of South Africa's leading Noble Late offerings by securing a five-star rating in the 2023 Platter's Wine Guide, the country's leading guide to ratings of Cape wines.

The top five-star rating was for Delheim's Edelspatz Riesling 2020, made from a Riesling vineyard block situated on the estate's Simonsberg terroir planted in 1985 that has been officially endorsed with Certified Heritage Vineyard status.

With this release, the 2020 Edelspatz Riesling undoubtedly takes its place in the pantheon of great wines having emerged from a season regarded as among the decade’s finest for noble rot expressions.
