The wine is more\u003cbr\u003esubtle and more mellow in personality that previous vintages. It shows some yellow fruit\u003cbr\u003eand sweet herbs on the nose, quite pretty but not loud. The palate is savoury for a\u003cbr\u003eChenin. It seems like a slow-moving deep-water swell of flavour that builds and falls in\u003cbr\u003eits own time. This wine will be a great companion at the dinner table.\u003cbr\u003eVineyards\u003cbr\u003eThis vintage contains parcels from the Swartland close to Malmesbury, Piekenierskloof,\u003cbr\u003ethe Bottelary and the Polkadraai as well as some older vine parcels from the Paardeberg\u003cbr\u003eand Tygerberg.\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Details\u003cbr\u003eAlc: 13.21% RS: 1.6g\/l TA: 5.45g\/l pH: 3.40\u003cbr\u003eWine of Origin: Western Cape\u003cbr\u003eVarieties: Chenin blanc\u003cbr\u003eBottling date: May 2024\u003cbr\u003eProduction: 32603 bottles and 60 magnums\u003cbr\u003eRecommended retail Price: R320.00\u003cbr\u003eHereafter Here 2023\u003cbr\u003eHereafter Here is a young vineyard wine. The great thing about planting young vines is\u003cbr\u003ethat you can choose the site and the material purely for the sake of quality wine. Some of\u003cbr\u003eour favourite growers have already planted new vines, as will we on our own farm in the\u003cbr\u003ecoming years. I find the idea of planting for the future very exciting! Our kids will have\u003cbr\u003enice mature vines to work with. This is also a great space for us to nurture younger\u003cbr\u003eparcels that are very good but still too young for Cartology.\u003cbr\u003eWinemaking and Maturation\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes were picked early in the morning, sorting in the vineyard, and whole bunch\u003cbr\u003epressed. The juice was very lightly settled (we like very cloudy raw juice) with no\u003cbr\u003eadditions to the raw juice, wild fermentation in took place in old barrels of various sizes.\u003cbr\u003eFermentation lasted for about two months. The wine was kept on lees for around 12\u003cbr\u003emonths, then rested in tank on fine lees without fining for a further six months prior to\u003cbr\u003ebottling. Very simple, careful winemaking.\u003cbr\u003eVintage Notes\u003cbr\u003eThe Name: Hereafter Here sIt obviously sounds a bit like year after year, denoting the\u003cbr\u003epassage of time. Hopefully it raises feelings of the nostalgia of future generations, of\u003cbr\u003elegacy and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alheit Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47259808432352,"sku":"123632","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/Hereafter.jpg?v=1776280704","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/alheit-vineyards-hereafter-here-2022-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
