Alheit Vineyards Fire By Night Chenin Blanc 2021

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2021
$80.00The 2021 Hemelrand Vine Garden is one of Chris Alheit’s biggest successes and encapsulates everything great about his wine.

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2022
$90.00“One of my picks from Alheit this year. Excellent…This used to be the one wine from Alheit Vineyards that we didn’t include in our allocation request, because we felt it always had too much Muscat in the blend. It’s perfectly clear to me, and should be to anyone else, that Chris Alheit has taken heed of our important opinion and has […]

Alheit Vineyards Monument Semillon 2021
$150.00Out of Stock
The 2021 Monument lives up to its name (having previously been labelled “La Colline”). This is a great Semillon, perhaps a step up from the 2020. Yellow plum and honeysuckle intermingle with dried apricot and a very light, cereal-like note on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a slight flor-like note on the […]
