2022 Alheit Vineyards - Benchmark Chenin Blancs from Iconic Sites

Alheit Vineyards is the family project started in 2010 by husband and wife team Chris and Suzaan Alheit. They shot to prominence a decade ago with the maiden release of Cartology, their only wine at the time. Since then it has become one of the defining wines of the new generation of South African wine. Alheit’s wines typify contemporary winemaking in the Cape: terroir-driven, texturally-satisfying, with a low-tech high-fidelity viticultural approach. They capture a sense of place, of identity and of heritage, representing some of the greatest wines being produced on the Cape at the moment.

The 2022 vintage at Alheit Vineyards has delivered a compelling lineup of site-driven, old-vine Chenin Blancs that continue to raise the bar for South African white wine. Across icon regions like Skurfberg, False Bay, and Franschhoek, the wines showcase remarkable clarity, texture, and sense of place. With their trademark purity and poise, the 2022s affirm Alheit’s reputation as one of the Cape’s true greats.
