Alheit Nautical Dawn 2022

This wine reflects the tension of elements where it grows: the mellow glow of Stellenbosch sunshine drenching the hills, doused by a cold and salty slap of Southeast wind. The nose shows sour yellow fruit, maybe pineapple and salted lemon. The pallet is full and intense, a little rich and very energetic. Long finish.

Nautical Dawn is the phase of dawn that occurs between astrological dawn and civilian dawn. It’s a mysterious time of day – dark enough to see the stars for navigation, light enough to hoist a sail. We wanted a name that would take you close to the sea and facing East.
