Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Alheit Vineyards, Broom Ridge, 2019
ABV:
13%
93/100
Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2019 Broom Ridge (previously labeled "Fire By Night") is pure Chenin from bush vines, matured in concrete eggs and used barrels for 12 months. It has a waxy bouquet featuring orange blossom and dried honey. The palate is well balanced with red apples, orange peel and a touch of sea salt on the entry. Good tension throughout this Chenin. Almost terse and strict toward the finish, which will benefit from a couple of years in bottle. Excellent, but be patient.

Alheit Vineyards

Since bursting on to the scene with their debut Cartology 2011, Chris & Suzaan Alheit’s rise has been one of the Cape’s most talked about success stories. Since then they have consistently pushed the boundaries and thrown in heart and soul at every juncture. Steady commercial and critical success has enabled Alheit to develop a number of prime single vineyard bottlings from all over the Cape, complimenting the ever reliable Cartology. Winemaking is conscientious and adapted to suit the character of each plot. The only hard and fast rules are that all the wines are whole cluster pressed and left to cool overnight, after which they are racked from tank to tank and transferred to neutral barrels for fermentation. Aging takes place for up to a year in a variety of vessels depending on the wine. One of the most thoughtful and boundary-pushing white wine producers in South Africa, we cannot wait to see what Alheit does next.
