Secure a piece of South African wine history with the Alheit Cartology 2024 Magnum. This rare 1.5-litre format offers superior aging potential for Chris Alheit’s flagship white blend. The 2024 vintage captures a “vinous map” of the Cape through ancient, dry-farmed bush vines. You will discover a striking nose of ripe pear, kumquat, and lime citrus, accented by delicate notes of hay and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine shows incredible tension and a savoury-sweet energy that defines the best releases from this estate. Its racy acidity and pithy, mineral finish make it a truly memorable experience for any serious collector.
The Alheit Cartology 2024 stands as one of the most acclaimed white wines in the country. It received a massive 96-point rating from Tim Atkin MW, who praised its effortless concentration and jasmine aromas. Christian Eedes of Winemag awarded it 94 points, highlighting its refined complexity and impressive detail. Neal Martin also recognized the vintage with a 93-point score, noting its waxy texture and refreshing finish. You can enjoy this wine now after decanting, though the magnum format will reward those who cellar it for a decade or more. Pair this heritage blend with grilled seafood, creamy poultry dishes, or rich lobster.
