Alheit Vineyards
Alheit Vineyards is a family business started in 2010 by husband and wife team Chris and Suzaan Alheit. They met at Stellenbosch University, fell in love, travelled the world together, got married, then travelled some more. Eventually they settled on Hemelrand farm close to Hermanus and started their project. Our goals are simple. We want to make wines with a clear sense of Cape identity. We want to show that the Cape’s vinous heritage is worth celebrating and protecting. We love old vineyards. We love dry farming. We love bushvines. We think that “ordinary grapes” are in fact wonderful. We believe that great things are possible here in the Cape, and that we are now just scratching the surface of what can be done.
Description
The 2024 vintage presents a high-energy, exotic nose featuring musky apricot, talcum, fresh apple, and lime. On the palate, it begins with a stony mineral water-like attack, swiftly followed by a mouth-filling texture and tense, tart acidity. This wine is a close representation of the Hemelrand site, showcasing its unique character.
Food Pairing
This vibrant white blend pairs well with fresh seafood dishes, such as grilled prawns or seared scallops. Its acidity complements creamy cheeses like goat's cheese and feta, and it also matches nicely with dishes featuring citrus or herbal elements.
