Alheit Vineyards - La Colline Vineyard 2016

93/100

Robert Parker

(2015 Vintage Notes)

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