What it tastes like

Alheit Hereafter Here 2023 is a beautifully textured white with aromas of ripe citrus fruits like lemon and lime, along with subtle notes of green apple, white flowers, and a touch of minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity that provides a refreshing backbone to the wine's bright fruit flavours. There's a slight hint of salinity and herbs that adds complexity, while the texture is round and mouth-coating. The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering citrus notes and a fine mineral edge.

Ideal with fresh seafood like oysters, lobster, or grilled fish, as well as dishes like sushi or ceviche. It also pairs wonderfully with light poultry, such as roasted chicken or turkey, and vegetable-based dishes like asparagus or green salads. The wine's crisp acidity and texture make it a perfect companion for dishes with a citrus or herb-driven profile, like lemon risotto or goat cheese salad.

The grape

Chenin Blanc

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.

Where it's from

Western Cape

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.
