Born from the windswept slopes of the Hemel & Aarde Ridge, the Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2022 is a testament to the unique terroir of South Africa. This unconventional white field blend is a snapshot of a single vineyard, where Chardonnay, Roussanne, Chenin Blanc, Verdelho, and Muscat intertwine to create a wine as dynamic as the landscape that birthed it.
Alheit Vineyards embraces a philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing the grapes and terroir to express themselves fully. Whole bunch pressing, wild fermentation in old barrels, and extended lees aging contribute to the wine's texture, complexity, and lingering finish.
The 2022 Hemelrand Vine Garden reveals classic stone fruit and exotic aromas intertwined with notes of dried orange peel and apricot from the noble rot. The palate is powerful and full, yet elegant, with vibrant acidity driving a long, tapered finish.
