Delheim&#8217;s history dates back to 1699 when it was founded by Dutch settlers in the Cape.

She&#8217;s gone from strength to strength\u00a0in\u00a0her career and was promoted to head\u00a0winemaker at Delheim\u00a0in\u00a02022, showing that there&#8217;s a place for everyone\u00a0in\u00a0the world of\u00a0wine\u00a0no matter where you come from, as long as you&#8217;re willing to put\u00a0in\u00a0the hard work. This Chenin Blanc showcases quality minimal\u00a0intervention\u00a0winemaking, resulting\u00a0in\u00a0a rich yet pure expression of one of South Africa&#8217;s hero grape varieties.

We tasted the 2020 vintage, so she&#8217;s by no means a baby anymore, and the name of the vineyard (Wehlener Sonnenuhr) translates to &#8216;sundial&#8217; which gives you a clue as to the level of sunlight\u00a0in\u00a0this vineyard &#8211; all helpful little hints to know when trying to decipher the notoriously confusing German\u00a0wine\u00a0label.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/gvantsas-wine-aladasturi-rose\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Gvantsa&#8217;s\u00a0Wine\u00a0Aladasturi Rose<\/span><\/b><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As someone who famously doesn&#8217;t drink pink drinks, I was not expecting to enjoy this one nearly as much as I did.\u00a0 However, it might just have been my favourite wine of the night! More of an orange wine in terms of flavour profile &#8211; think Rooibos tea leaves, dried apricots and vibrant raspberry and strawberry notes &#8211; this is perhaps more of a wine nerd&#8217;s wine than a crowd-pleaser, but definitely worth a try if you&#8217;re an adventurous wine drinker.\u00a0 Made by two sisters (Gvantsa and Baia Abuladze) in Georgia who have such a get-up-and-go attitude that they invested in a wine press before they had money for a car, leading to them having to lug wine on trains and buses to get it into the city for sale when first starting out, they&#8217;re exactly the kind of female role models this industry needs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/alma-gemela-garnacha-lavalle\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Alma Gemela Garnacha<\/span><\/b><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Winemaker Mariana Onofri came\u00a0into\u00a0wine\u00a0from an education background, starting off teaching English to\u00a0winemakers\u00a0in\u00a0Argentina, then becoming a Sommelier, and finally turning to\u00a0winemaking after purchasing some old vines with her husband\u00a0in\u00a0Lavalle (North-east Mendoza).\u00a0 This area of Mendoza is not one that many people know of, and when researching it, I came across a quote saying that the area was more known for sand dunes, goats and olive groves, but that there was also a considerable planting of quality vines there too.\u00a0 This has been the perfect place for Mariana to do what she loves most &#8211; championing an under-represented region of her home country and providing an antidote to the over-saturation of the market with Argentinian Malbec (she doesn&#8217;t even grow any Malbec\u00a0in\u00a0her vineyard!).\u00a0 I&#8217;m always\u00a0inspired by\u00a0winemakers such as Mariana who aren&#8217;t afraid to challenge the norms and do something a little different, especially when it results\u00a0in\u00a0such a dangerously drinkable\u00a0wine!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.oxfordwine.co.uk\/products\/duckhorn-decoy-cabernet-sauvignon-california\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon <\/span><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Dana Epperson heads up the winemaking operation for Decoy (one of many premium brands under the Duckhorn Portfolio) in Sonoma, California.
