product description

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2017

Vineyards

Hemelrand is situated on the cold and windy Hemel & Aarde Ridge at 360 meters above sea level on gravely clay and Sandstone.  The vineyard was planted in 2010. Viticulturally speaking, this is a marginal site, the upside of which is slow ripening with high natural acidity.

Winemaking and Maturation

Both hand-sorted and a whole bunch pressed. Thus, Spontaneous fermentation took place in cement eggs, clay pots, foudres, and old barrels (various sizes). In fact, the fermentation of various parcels lasted anywhere between 3 weeks and 11 months. Very simple, careful winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Exotic nose, lemon and stone fruit, a touch of verbena. Full fat, energetic palate, gleaming with flavour and intensity. Driving acidity. Best Vine Garden yet!
