Solms-Delta Wine Estate

Location

Franschhoek

Overview

The South African roots of world-renowned neuroscientist Professor Mark Solms brought him back home in 2002 to revitalise the historic Delta wine estate … and to fundamentally rethink Cape wine-making traditions in the process.

Solms assumed custodianship of the 320-year-old estate with a vision that went much deeper than re-establishing its vineyards and cellars. He also wanted to do something about the legacy of his European forebears (who had settled in the Cape six generations before) and thereby address the pressing social and economic problems facing South Africa today.

Wines were good. Tasting order seemed a little odd as well as rushed, having the sparkling cider in the middle ruined the taste of the wines. Very little information given on wines except the alcohol percentage. Would have been great to have had the ambassador be more excited by the products.
