Huilkrans, 2023

The 2023 Huilkrans comes from dry-farmed Chenin Blanc in the Citrusdal Mountains. This has a very stony bouquet, perhaps the most austere amongst Alheit's cuvées this year. It’s very minimalist in style. The palate is taut and fresh, revealing orange pith and a touch of mango. It’s harmonious and smooth, with a dusting of white pepper on the finish. Very fine, but distant.
