Alheit Cartology
Cartology is a vinous exploration of Cape heritage. It’s intended to be a picture of the Cape seen through the lens of her old vineyards in a given vintage. The cuveé is composed of rare and extraordinary parcels of mature dryland bushvines, of heritage grapes, namely Chenin Blanc and Semilllon. These grapes have been planted in the Cape for centuries. Cartology has become our staple offering. It serves as a poster child for our project, and also seems to have become a flag bearer for Cape heritage wine in general.
Bellingham Bernard Series Basket Press Syrah
The Bellingham Bernard Series Basket Press Syrah is a premium, hand-crafted South African red wine from Paarl/Coastal Region, paying tribute to maverick founder Bernard Podlashuk. It is a powerful, complex Syrah (often with a touch of Viognier) featuring rich black fruit, pepper, and violet notes, typically matured in French oak for 12–18 months.
Bellingham Bernard Series Old Vine Chenin Blanc
A luminescent gold wine expressing a myriad of tropical, peach, pineapple, apple and honeysuckle on the nose, layered with a touch of oatmeal and subtle oak spice. The palate follows through with a lavish concentrated fruit core and citrus marmalade, that gives way to a rich, yet elegant and coated mouthfeel. The finish is seamless with a lingering, complex aftertaste as indicative of its old bush vine origins
