A young vine Chenin, oh how I love!! ‘Hereafter Here’ is Alheit’s ode to the future - to new plantings, younger sites, and the promise of what’s to come. Pressed as whole bunches early in the morning, the juice is wild fermented in old barrels, kept on full lees for 12 months, then aged a further 6 months in the tank. No additions. No fining. Just careful, minimal handling and maximum texture. Aromatically complex and gently savoury, it's all white citrus, dried herbs, peach stone, lemon oil and bitter almond. The palate is silky and textural, with a bit of honeydew, white peach and savoury lees notes too. Rich but not overtly fruity... more plush and harmonious to it's fullest extent. A favourite this month!

About the Winemakers
Suzaan + Chris Alheit | Alheit Vineyards

Chris and Suzaan Alheit are the heart and hands behind Alheit Vineyards. They met while studying winemaking at Stellenbosch University, fell in love, and spent years travelling the globe chasing harvests before returning to the Cape with the mission to capture the true sense of South Africa in wine. Their philosophy is simple and steadfast: to find the voice in the land, not the mark of the winemaker. They believe that the Cape’s vinous heritage is worth protecting - that dry farming, bush vines and so-called “ordinary grapes” are in fact extraordinary. From their thoughtful farming practices to their stripped-back cellar work, every step is guided by integrity, respect for the land, and a quiet belief in the power of simplicity.
