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.
Alheit Vineyards Hereafter Here 2023
14% abv
” The 2023 Hereafter Here has a disarmingly pure bouquet with yellow plum, candle wax and just a touch of crushed stone, all exquisitely defined and focused. The palate is very well balanced with a line of electricity that goes from start to finish. Vivid flavors unfurl in the mouth, with hints of grapefruit peel and a liberal splash of stem ginger toward the finish. This is an outstanding Hereafter Here.” 2025 – 2035
93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2024
From young bush vine Chenin Blanc. A relatively small release, set to grow as Chris and Suzaan plant more vineyards. These new vineyards are located on Nuwedam (the Broom Ridge farm), but the Alheit’s also intend to plant in other locations where the land is rented. This includes sites in the Polkerdraai, Blaauwklippen, both in Stellenbosch, and the Magnetic North vineyard in the Skurfberg. All new plantings will be bush-vine.
