When it comes to cupcakes we just can’t resist! We’re so excited about Delheim’s brand-new fynbos cupcake and wine pairing, just in time for Heritage Day.

By Ulisha Moodley

Known for their original cupcake and wine pairing, this latest addition is such a treat! Having fynbos-inspired cupcakes shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, as Delhiem is home to vulnerable Boland Granite fynbos. Delhiem is also an ambassador for eco-friendly farm practice and sustainable winemaking.

Here is what you can look forward to when you go for your delicious tasting:

1. THE FYNBOS HONEY CUPCAKE

Locally-produced Cape coast honey and a cream cheese icing that is also honey-based is the basis of this cupcake. It’s paired with the Delheim Merlot.

2. THE HONEYBUSH CUPCAKE

Made with fine grade honeybush tea leaves and a simple cream icing, this treat is paired with the Delheim Chardonnay Sur Lie.

3. THE BUCHU CUPCAKE

This cupcake has a ‘highly concentrated tincture by Durban-based herbal laboratory Phyto-Force.’ The icing is cream cheese with a hint of lemon. This selection is paired with the Delheim Gewurztraminer.

4. THE ROOIBOS CUPCAKE

Extracts of rooibos espresso and a cream cheese and cinnamon icing are the key features. This cupcake is paired with Delheim’s Pinotage.

This winter Delheim has partnered with the Cape Town Music Academy (CTMA) and Jazz in the Native Yards to bring a series of Jazz and Cheese Fondues with some of Delheim’s best wines.

By Taryn Wilson

Every Sunday from 24 June to 26 August in 2018, there will be exciting performances from local artists, deliciously hearty fondue meals and award-winning wines to enjoy.

‘We are super stoked to be offering an inspiring showcase of fresh new talent this year,’ says Delheim’s Nora Sperling-Thiel. ‘The Jazz & Cheese Fondue series is one of our most well-supported events which now goes to the next level with three live jazz sessions/concerts per event, with superb estate wine and lingering cheese aromas thrown in for good measure.’

The events will take place in the Downstairs Cellar of Delheim, which is situated in the Simonsberg sub-region of the Stellenbosch Wine Routes. With a rich history steeped in German and South African heritages, Delheim has made it a point to showcase their stunning collections and hospitality.

Through their collaborations with the CTMA and Jazz in the Native Yards, Delheim is supporting local musicians in the South African music industry. ‘Jazz is the language of the Cape,’ says CTMA director Nico McLachlan, ‘and this year the Cape Town Music Academy and Jazz in the Native Yards are excited to join forces with Delheim to create a series of cozy winter jazz concerts, where we can share the experience of listening to the sounds of the Cape.’

The all-inclusive tickets cost R450 per person, and cover soup and Glühwein on arrival, live jazz entertainment, and a hearty fondue meal served with complimentary Delheim wines. Access to a lovely coffee bar is also included in the fee. Tickets can be purchased from Webtickets, but are limited and must be booked in advance in order to take part in this fabulous series.

Becoming a member of the Delheim Wine Club will allow you to have multiple benefits such as preferential booking for events such as this one, while also keeping up to date with news.
