Alheit Hemelrand Vine Garden
R485.00 incl VAT
Hemelrand Vine Garden is a unique vineyard that produces a unique wine. The idea is to bottle the wine just as the vineyard produces it, effectively creating a white field blend that changes every year depending on the vintage conditions. This way we have one place expressed by a few different grapes, changing as the season dictates. The wine is always remarkable and continues to gain in stature as the vines mature.
Hemelrand is situated on the cold and windy Hemel & Aarde Ridge at 360 meters above sea level, on gravelly clay, and Sandstone. The vineyard was planted in 2010 to Chardonnay, Roussanne, Verdelho, Chenin blanc, and Muscat Blanc a etit grain. However, as mentioned the proportions of the different grapes produced significantly varies each vintage. Viticulturally speaking this is a marginal site, the upside of which is slow ripening with high natural acidity.

Description
Hemelrand Vine Garden 2025
36% Roussanne, 27% Chardonnay, 23% Chenin Blanc, 11% Verdelho, 3% Muscat Blanc. From Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Fermented and matured for 12 months in old barrels. The nose is exotically scented with citrus, stone fruit, pineapple, honey and spice. The palate is succulent, snappy acidity bringing shape to the generous fruit before a savoury finish. With a distinct sweet-and-sour interplay, this is a gloriously eccentric wine. Alc: 14%.
