Alheit Fire By Night 2022

HED96137 75cl 12.5%
Alheit Fire By Night 2022 is a full-bodied, single-site Chenin Blanc from the Paardeberg Mountains area of the Swartland in South Africa. Produced from dryfarmed old Chenin Blanc bush vines grown on the Alheits` Nuwedam property in Paardeberg, this wine was wild-fermented in cement eggs, foudres and old barrels. It was kept on lees for around 12 months, then rested in tank on fine lees for a further six months prior to bottling. Producer note. "As usual, the wine is bright and bristling, but still the most restrained of our bottlings. It usually takes a few years to show its full potential. Now, the youthful nose shows some thatchy reduction, fynbos, and green citrus. The pallet is very fine-boned this year, with a firm pithy structure and mouth-watering acidity. This wine will certainly reward some cellaring."
