Alheit Vineyards

Alheit Vineyards is the story of married couple Chris and Suzaan Alheit, who met at university in Stellenbosch and travelled the world together. In 2010 they setttled on Hemelrand farm, high on the Hemel & Aarde Ridge, and set about building their vision. To quote the couple; their aim is to find the voice of the land, not the mark of the winemaker. Alheit is Low intervention to say the least, there is no fining, non-native yeasts, blocking malo no enzymes etc, etc. They beleive this is the best way to express the terroir of the Cape. In the winery they use clay pots, cement eggs, foudres and old oak. Although this is a very natural approach, their wines are far from gimmicky. These are serious wines of great quality and complexity and are becoming increasingly sought after.
