Alheit Vineyards Cartology 2021

14% abv

Vol- 75cl

Alheit Vineyardsis perhaps the most highly sought after wine from South Africa. Small, ancient, dry-farmed vineyard plots of Chenin Blanc & Semillon have been tracked down and nurtured to produce their wines. The wines are made by Chris & Suzaan Alheit in their winery in Hemelrand, Hemel & Aarde Ridge, Walker Bay, surrounded by fynbos, olive groves & lavender. The grapes are cooled, carefully hand sorted and whole bunch pressed. The resulting juice is lightly settled, run off into old oak barrels and then left alone for the wild yeasts to enjoy. Once fermentation sets in, each barrel is monitored daily. All these wines are limited in production and sell on allocation.

As one of South Africa’s newest producers, Alheit Vineyard declares its aim as being ‘to vinify extraordinary Cape vineyards’. The fact that Chris and Suzaan Alheit set out on their venture to make only white wine, is a testament to their commitment to seek out some of the oldest vineyard blocks in the country.

Using the knowledge and contacts of leading viticulturist, Rosa Kruger, within two short years, Alheit Vineyards has established itself as the most talked about winery in the Cape, with its limited releases being highly sought-after.

Winery space is rented in shed, originally conceived as an olive oil production facility, on the Hemel-en-Aarde road out of Hermanus. Probably as far away as one could expect to be from their primary grape sources on the West Coast.
