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.
