Alheit VineyardsWestern Cape, South Africa
Why you'll love it
A South African classic—old-vine Chenin and Sémillon blended with precision and purity. It's complex, age-worthy, and consistently one of the Cape's top whites.
White peach, ripe pear, citrus oil, and a touch of honey and ginger. Medium-bodied with bright acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral finish.
Grilled seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta, or soft cheeses. A versatile food wine with real depth.
Best known in Loire Valley, South Africa
A brilliant shape-shifter. Bone-dry, off-dry, sweet or sparkling, always with vivid acidity running through it. Apple, quince, honey and a waxy texture, with the best examples from the Loire and South Africa ageing gracefully for many years.
Best known in Bordeaux, Hunter Valley
A rich white grape with a waxy texture. Lemon, honey and lanolin, gaining toasty complexity with age. It is key to sweet Sauternes and dry white Bordeaux, and in the Hunter Valley makes light, lemony whites that age remarkably well.
South Africa
South Africa's wine heartland, encompassing everything from the cool coastal valleys to the warmer inland sites. Extraordinarily diverse in climate and soil: a single appellation that contains multitudes — from delicate Elgin Pinot to muscular Swartland reds.
Western Cape, South Africa
Alheit Vineyards makes minimal-intervention white wines in South Africa's Western Cape. Fruit is hand sorted and whole-bunch pressed, then fermented with wild yeast in cement eggs, foudres and old barrels. We stock a long list, including Cartology and Hemelrand.
More from Alheit Vineyards →Cartology is the flagship from Chris and Suzaan Alheit, made from dry-farmed old vines across the Western Cape. Fermented naturally and aged in a mix of neutral vessels, it reflects the heart of South Africa's wine heritage.
If you like these, you'll love this: White Rhône blends, Loire Chenin, or white Burgundy with texture and minerality.
