More from Alheit Vineyards →The story behind it
Made from sun-dried Hanepoot grapes, pressed slowly and aged over a year. Chris Alheit's tribute to a historic vineyard.
If you like these, you'll love this: Tokaji Eszencia, PX Sherry, or top Sauternes. Ideal for lovers of sweet wines with structure. "Lost and Found is straw wine made from an ancient Hanepoot (Muscat Alexandrie) vineyard. This is a once-off wine for us, and a wine of great personal significance for me. It is the last vintage farmed by the De Wet/Boonzaaier family, who lived on and farmed Gevonden for six generations." Chris Alheit
