Alheit Vineyards - Magnetic North Mountain Makstok 2020

92+/100

Chenin
long finale

Although still young, Magnetic North Mountain Makstok reveals an impressive nose of grapefruit, honeysuckle, and pear. The ungrafted Chenin vines produce a cuvée enveloped in very fine tannins and beautiful acidity. The finish is extraordinarily long. What a thrill!
