Tasting Note

This wine reflects the tension of elements where it grows: the mellow glow of Stellenbosch sunshine drenching the hills, doused by a cold and salty slap of Southeast wind. The nose shows sour yellow fruit, maybe pineapple and salted lemon. The pallet is full and intense, a little rich and very energetic. Long finish.

Product Notes

The Alheit Vineyards Nautical Dawn Chenin Blanc is a rich and complex white wine that hails from the Western Cape of South Africa. The wine boasts a pale straw color and aromas of apple, pear, and honey, with high mineral notes and a touch of citrus. On the palate, flavors of yellow apple, lemon zest, and honeycomb are complemented by a subtle oak spice and a long, lingering finish. The grapes are hand-picked and wild-fermented before being aged in a combination of oak and stainless steel barrels. This wine is perfect for pairing with seafood and poultry dishes or sipping on its own.

About the Winery

Alheit Vineyards

The story and venture for Alheit Vineyards began with the endeavours of Chris Alheit and his wife, Suzaan Alheit. The two first met and came to know each other at Stellenbosch University. Soon, they developed a romantic relationship, travelled extensively across the globe, tied the knot in matrimony, and continued their trips. During their travels, they came across the winemaking process and art and soon shared a mutual passion for the craft. It led them to move to Hemelrand farm, close to the South African town of Hermanus, and establish Alheit Vineyards in 2010.
