Alheit Vineyards Cartology 2025
R510.00
The backbone of Alheit vineyards. A true reflection of South African wines through old Chenin Blanc and Semillon vineyards.
A multi-regional wine of 9 Chenin Blanc vineyards, all 40 – 60 years old, with one old Semillon vineyard.
Chenin Blanc 93%; Semillon 7%
Naartjie peel, ripe pear and fennel, sweet herbs. Also, some other comforting scent that I can’t quite lay hold of. Reminds me of clementine cake. Palate is bright and direct, mouth-filling and sapid. Savoury edge. Slow burn beauty.
ANALYSIS: Alc 13.0% | RS 1.4 g/l | TA 5.86 g/l | pH 3.39
Description
Cartology means the study of maps or charts. It could not be a more perfect name for this wine. Not only because of our endeavours to search for and find these special old vineyards, but also because the wine itself can be seen as a vinous map or tapestry of the Cape.
