Emerging mushrooms and fungi events are on the way
As the first autumn rains settled in early this year, we started finding mushrooms in abundance at Delheim Wine Estate. To increase not only our own knowledge of mushrooms but we are also excited to share our passion and learnings with fungi lovers alike with a new mushroom event format this year.
Workshops taking place from 16 to 18 June, will give insight into growing, identifying and cooking mushrooms.
Look out for names such as Gary Goldman, The Mushroom Box, and Andrew Killian.

Blockbuster wines
"They say a farmer always complains. This vintage was near perfect. A perfect team makes a perfect harvest. As they say, now the winemaker has to take out his magic wand and turn a perfect crop into blockbuster wines..." - Victor Sperling, director at Delheim
Off to a flying start
"We didn’t have the usual amount of rainfall in the winter months leading up to harvest which might have been a reason for starting harvest roughly 10 days earlier than usual.
Picking just that little bit earlier meant we got some really nice natural acidity. Pinotage for the rosé and our white grapes quality was fantastic. The red varietals also came in slightly earlier than usual and we found out later that this was our saving grace.
From early March Stellenbosch received some heavy downpours of rain which made it very difficult to pick and also for sugar accumulation. The rain did, however, help out a lot in the Riesling block used for noble late harvest." - Roelof Lotriet, cellarmaster at Delheim
