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 of Hereafter Here Chenin Blanc offers a forthcoming nose of pear, peach, and citrus, complemented by subtle notes of fynbos, honeysuckle, and a hint of flinty reduction. On the palate, it showcases impressive fruit concentration, supported by soft yet sufficient acidity, tapering to a gently savoury finish. This wine marries satisfying weight with poise, marking it as the most convincing vintage to date.
Food Pairing
This Chenin Blanc pairs excellently with seafood dishes such as shrimp or scallops, especially when accompanied by a mango salsa. Its balance of fruit and acidity also complements roasted poultry and dishes featuring fresh herbs.
