Alheit Magnetic North, Citrusdal Mountains 2023
White Wine from South Africa - Olifants River
The chenin blanc blocks for Magnetic North, planted in 1981 and 1984, sit at around 540m above sea level – higher than Huilkrans – on a ridge where the vines can see the Atlantic and feel the sea mists in the morning. Powerfully structured with a rooibos tea-leaf perfume and stony minerality, this has an unwavering drive and resonance on the finish, which just keeps going, and going. As ever, this is a wine which reverberates with energy – Chris Alheit describes this vibration quite beautifully as ‘an echo on the palate’; ‘it shimmers and echoes,’ he says. The vineyard is an ungrafted massal selection and Chris suggests the sheer life-force this wine contains is an ‘own-rooted thing.’ Please note that this wine is only available as part of the mixed case MX26174.
