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.
