Alheit Vineyards Nautical Dawn

“Nautical Dawn is a single origin Chenin Blanc wine. Since its maiden vintage in 2017 it has helped to showcase the raw talent of the False Bay coast of Stellenbosch – a vital part of the Cape Chenin story. The wine has quite an extreme nature and a strong personality. Even with early picking, this vineyard delivers huge flavour with intense concentration and ripping natural acid.” – Alheit Vineyards

“Kumquat and quince, honey and baobab. Salt-spit and sting and silk. Vaulting with flavour and where the fruit and acidity meet there is a rasp of connection that curls your toes. The finish feels like a slipstream after the roil of energy, there is a ripple of silence in its wake.” – 17.5 points, Jancis Robinson
