Delheim Estate
Stellenbosh, South Africa
WINNER - 2023 DINERS CLUB
YOUNG WINEMAKER OF THE YEAR AWARD
“It is impossible to describe what this award means to me,” says Nongcebo, who joined Delheim in 2019 after completing an MSc in Oenology at Stellenbosch University and was promoted to winemaker in 2022. “The list of previous Dinners Club winners reads like a who’s-who of South African wine, and to join these ranks is a tremendous honour which I am truly humbled to have achieved and am overjoyed at the same time.
Just having turned 30 years old means that this year was the last year for me to be eligible for the Young Winemaker title, so I guess one can say that from now on I’ll have to play in the big leagues!”
