"Experience all the expertise of the sublime Alheit estate in this accessible wine that offers immediate enjoyment!"

“The 2024 Hereafter Here comes from young vineyards and is aged on lees for 12 months. Alheit considers it a potential plot for Cartology. This pure Chenin Blanc has a lively bouquet with notes of lemony thyme and light citrus. The palate is well-balanced with a citrusy attack, hints of tart lemon, and orange zest on the finish. Perhaps a bit abrupt, but excellent when drunk young. 2025–2030” (Vinous 2025)

Wine rated (2026 guide) 93/100 (Outstanding wine)

About the wine:

Alheit Vineyards’ 2024 “Hereafter Here” is made from young vineyards, including recently planted plots on the estate and grapes from trusted growers, allowing Chris Alheit to explore the terroir before the vines reach maturity. Fermented and aged in a mix of diamond-shaped concrete tanks and, primarily, used 300- or 500-liter barrels, this wine serves as a sort of testing ground for future additions to the Cartology lineup. The 2024 vintage yielded a small harvest, giving it heightened concentration and subtle complexity. Salty and fresh, it offers a generous palate, balanced by notes of orchard fruit and candied lemon. The diversity of the Western Cape’s soils and the maritime influence lend even the young vines a mineral tension that anchors the wine’s liveliness. 2026–2034

About the wine:

This very fresh, mineral-driven white wine offers aromas of raw salted almonds, chamomile, sliced apples, and lemon tea. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, mineral and salty, with lively acidity. Enjoy now or cellar.
