“Experience all the expertise of the sublime Alheit estate in this approachable wine, perfect for immediate enjoyment!”

"The 2024 Hereafter Here comes from young vineyards and spends 12 months on the lees. Alheit uses it as a potential plot for Cartology. This pure Chenin Blanc offers a lively bouquet with notes of lemon thyme and light citrus. The palate is well-balanced with a citrusy attack, hints of tart lemon, and orange peel on the finish. Perhaps a bit abrupt, but excellent to drink young. 2025–2030” (Vinous 2025)

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.
