Two renowned family wineries from Stellenbosch and Germany’s Pfalz region have teamed-up in a unique collaboration to produce a riesling wine underscoring both families’ commitment to the riesling variety and the importance of family-owned wine farms. Staying Alive Riesling is a collaboration between pioneering Stellenbosch estate Delheim and Wine Estate Hammel situated in Kirchbaum, Germany. This wine is cementing a relationship between the Sperling family from Delheim and the Hammels who have been making wine in Kirchbaum since 1723. The wine is the culmination of a four-decade friendship between Christoph Hammel, the ninth-generation winemaker at Wine Estate Hammel, and the Sperlings of Delheim, where Christoph cut his winemaking teeth under Delheim patriarch Spatz Sperling in the 1980s. The Staying Alive winemakers are Roelof Lotriet, Christoph Hammel and Noni Langa.Foto:
