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
Nose: The nose shows beautiful pear and fresh citrus, particularly grapefruit, perhaps kumquat. Palate: There are musky herbal notes present here too, difficult to define, something like rooibos. As always, the wine has a striking sense of purity.
Food Pairing
Salmon, Oysters, seafood dishes
