Delheim
Delheim
This piece of land, situated on the south-western slopes of the Simonsberg, was granted by Governor Simon van der Stel as early as 1699, when it was called De Driesprong. However, the first vines were only planted after several changes of ownership by Hans Hoheisen in 1940. In 1949, his wife Deli gave the winery the new name Deli’s Home, which later became Delheim.
In 1951, Hans (Spatz) Sperling and his wife Vera took over the farm. The beginnings were very difficult, much was learned by trial and error. But success soon followed, especially with the sweet wines Spatzendreck (since 1961) and Edelspatz (since 1979). He founded the first wine route. Today, Spatz Sperling is regarded as a successful pioneer and patriarch. His eldest children Nora and Victor took over the management a few years ago.
