Alheit Hemelrand Vine Garden 2024

What it tastes like

High-energy, exotic nose of musky apricot and talcum, fresh apple and lime. On the palate the attack is like stony mineral water, swiftly followed by mouth filling texture and tense tart acidity.

Why you should buy it
A lovely Hemelrand wine, close to a perfect representation of the site.

What to enjoy it with
Excellent with shellfish (especially scallops, lobster), roast fish, or white meats with cream/herb sauces. Salads or cheeses also work well.

Wine Story
The grapes were picked early in the morning, sorting in the vineyard, and whole bunch pressed. The juice was very lightly settled with no additions to the raw juice, wild fermentation took place in old barrels of various sizes. Fermentation lasted for about two months. The wine was kept on lees for around 12 months, then rested in tank on fine lees without fining for a further six months prior to bottling.Very simple, careful winemaking.
