2024 Alheit Vineyards Hereafter Here
£28.50
“Hereafter Here uses grapes from what Chris Alheit regards as younger vines, combining equal portions of Chenin Blanc from Piekenierskloof, the Swartland and the Polkadraai Hills. Textured, scented and engaging, it has lovely aniseed and lanolin top notes, the weight that’s typical of the 2024s and a bright, lemongrass finish.”

Product Description
100% Chenin Blanc.
Hereafter Here speaks about a time to come in the place we love. It obviously sounds a bit like year after year, denoting the passage of time. Hopefully it raises feelings of the nostalgia of future generations, of legacy and hope.
Hereafter Here is a young vineyard wine. The great thing about planting young vines is that you can choose the site and the material purely for the sake of quality wine. Some of our favourite growers have already planted new vines, as will we on our own farm in the coming years. I find the idea of planting for the future very exciting! Our kids will have nice mature vines to work with. This is also a great space for us to nurture younger parcels that are very good but still too young for Cartology.
Slightly earthy and herbal nose, perhaps a bit of spearmint or something similar. Bright citrus notes lend some colour. Charming palate, smooth, well-mannered. This will be excellent on the table.
