"This complex blend from the Hemelrand vineyard offers a unique and memorable tasting moment..."
" Hemelrand Vine Garden 2024 comes from Hemel in Aarde Ridge, 360 meters above sea level. It has a magnificent bouquet with notes of lemon balm, orange zest and peach skin, absolutely gorgeous. The palate is exquisitely balanced, a little more full-bodied than the Chenins, with a touch of orange zest and lemongrass, and a hint of white pepper on the finish. A real tension permeates this white blend. It really gains in harmony when aired in the glass, revealing a little more salinity that keeps you coming back for more. 2026-2042" (Vinous 2025)
