Alheit Hemelrand Vine Garden 2022

Alheit Hemelrand Vine Garden 2022 is a full-bodied, field-blend white wine from the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge region of South Africa. A multi-variety blend from vineyards at 360m above sea level planted by the Alheits’ landlords and owner of the Hemelrand farm in 2010, which tend to ripen at lower sugar levels. The grape varieties are fermented separately, then blended, with the aim that no single variety should stand out. Producer note on the 2022 vintage. "As always, the nose is intense and exotic, sporting salted lemon and quince, oatmeal and a hint of white flowers. The palate has tremendous drive, with great acidity balancing richness. Very long finish. This is a great Vine Garden vintage."
