Alheit Fire By Night Chenin Blanc 2022

R661.00

Region: Swartland

Tasting note:

“As usual, the wine is bright and bristling, but still the most restrained of our bottlings. It usually takes a few years to show its full potential. Now, the youthful nose shows some thatchy reduction, fynbos, and green citrus. The pallet is very fine-boned this year, with a firm pithy structure and mouth-watering acidity. This wine will certainly reward some cellaring” – Winemaker

“Chenin Blanc from the Alheit’s own Paardeberg property planted between 1972 and 1985 on granite. Pear, peach, lime, green apple plus thatch and talcum powder. The palate is tightly coiled – pure fruit and zippy acidity before a very dry finish. Light-bodied but intensely flavoured, this is supremely well judged. Alc: 12.35%” – CE 97pts

“Fire by Night is a name of personal significance to us, honouring the Lord who led His people out of Egypt in a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night. The name implies guidance and a dual reverence, both for the place and the One who made it.” – Winemaker
