Alheit Vineyards - La Colline Vineyard 2016

93/100

Robert Parker

(2015 vintage notes)

The La Colline vineyard bears witness to an extraordinary winemaking heritage: this plot is planted with Sémillon gris vines, which have disappeared from the rest of the world. This cuvée therefore showcases South African identity in all its splendor: great depth, density, and a texture typical of old Sémillon vines.
