Alheit Vineyards - Magnetic North Mountain Makstok 2020

92+/100

chenin
long finish

Although still in its youth, Magnetic North Mountain Makstok reveals an impressive nose of grapefruit, honeysuckle and pear. Ungrafted Chenin vines produce a cuvée with fine tannins and lovely acidity. The finish is extraordinarily long. What a thrill!
