In 1699, high up on the southwestern slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, named after Governor Simon van der Stel, one finds the land known as Drie Sprong.It was originally home to a Dutch East India Company servant, whose job it was to fire a cannon from the peak directly above the property, appropriately named Kanonkop. This cannon was the third in a relay from Cape Town, via Koeberg, signaling the arrival of any foreign vessels in Table Bay. The Free Burghers of the surrounding areas would then hurry to Cape Town and trade with the visitors or defend the town against attack.

In 1959 Delheim wines made their first appearance on the South African Wine Show in Paarl, and Spatz walked off with the trophy for the Best Dry White Table Wine. The winning wine was his White French, or Palomino, which had competed against varieties such as Chenin Blanc and Colombard, which normally commanded much greater prestige. This early success has continued, and grown - Delheim wines have never been out of the limelight since. Another welcome addition to the farm came in 1976, with the opening of the Vintner’s Cheese Lunch Restaurant. The restaurant was established to cater for the ever-increasing amount of people visiting the Stellenbosch Wine route. The food served is designed to complement the farm’s wines, and is entirely home made.

Today, Winemaker Brenda van Niekerk puts out high quality varietals that include:
