Alheit Vineyards - La Colline Vineyard 2016
93/100
Robert Parker
The La Colline vineyard is home to an extraordinary winemaking legacy: 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 glory: great depth, density, and the texture typical of old Sémillon vines.
