Alheit Vineyards

WE’RE HOPING TO FIND THE VOICE OF THE LAND, NOT THE MARK OF THE WINEMAKER.
WE WANT TO SHOW THAT THE CAPE'S VINOUS HERITAGE IS WORTH CELEBRATING AND PROTECTING.

We love old vineyards. We love dry farming. We love bushvines. We believe that quality and beauty in wine come from the vineyard. The true wonder of wine is revealed when all the nonsense and lies are stripped away.

More About Us

THE VINEYARDS

For the most part, our vineyards are old dry-farmed bushvines. They represent a bygone era of low-tech high-fidelity viticulture. They capture a sense of place, of identity and of heritage. They tell a part of the Cape's story - a story that goes back centuries.
