Alheit Nautical Dawn Chenin Blanc

R740.00 incl VAT

Nautical Dawn is the phase of dawn that occurs between astrological dawn and civilian dawn. It’s a mysterious time of day – dark enough to see the stars for navigation, light enough to hoist a sail. We wanted a name that would take you close to the sea and facing East.

Description

Nautical Dawn 2025
From a Firgrove, Stellenbosch vineyard planted in 1978. Fermented and matured for 12 months in old barrels of various sizes. The nose is intriguing, with notes of varnish, peach, apricot, spanspek, a touch of mushroom and sweet spice. The palate is smooth and layered, combining generous flavour with tangy acidity before a gently savoury finish. An idiosyncratic but compelling wine. Alc: 13%.
