Alheit Vineyards - Hereafter Here 2023 (750ml) PalominoAs with the 2022 wine, reasonably good yields meant that we had some old vineyard wine available to bolster the young vine fruit that this wine was created for. The wine is more subtle and more mellow in personality that previous vintages. It shows some yellow fruit and sweet herbs on the nose, quite pretty but not loud. The palate is savoury for a Chenin. It seems like a slow moving deep water swell of flavour that builds and falls in its own time.
