Delheim Edelspatz Noble Late Harvest 0.375L

Botrytis sweet wine from the heart of Stellenbosch – concentrated, but not heavy, with an acidity that keeps the sweetness in balance.

Delheim is one of the most traditional wineries in the Simonsberg-Stellenbosch region. The Hoheisen family has managed the estate since the 1950s; the Edelspatz has been one of South Africa's most famous sweet wines for decades. For this wine, only berries affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) are harvested – hand-picked, in several passes, when the water content of the grapes is maximally reduced.

In the glass, deep golden yellow appears. The nose brings dried apricot, candied quince, and a hint of orange marmalade. On the palate, the wine feels dense and creamy without becoming sticky – the natural acidity gives the sweetness level contour and ensures a fresh, long finish.

• Food: Blue cheese (Roquefort, Gorgonzola), apple strudel with vanilla sauce, foie gras
