2022 Huilkrans Chenin Blanc Alheit Vineyards
£99.00
“There was no Magnetic North release in 2022 – ever the perfectionist, Chris Alheit thought it wasn’t good enough – so fans of his Citrusdal Mountain Chenin Blancs will have to be content with this stunning wine from Jozua Visser’s neighbouring farm instead. The selection was rigorous, the yields correspondingly low, but the sacrifice was worth it. After two no shows in 2020 and 2021, this is a triumph over the elements by a world-class winemaker, with the density and understated power of a Corton-Charlemagne. Complex, layered and deep, it has leesy intensity, garrigue, citrus, yellow apple and rooibos flavours and a long, tapering finish.”

Product Description
As one of South Africa’s most respected 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.
There is something so special about this place in the mountains, isolation, old vines, low rainfall, deep red sand over red clay. For us, the wine is absolutely thrilling.
