Description

Alheit Vineyards Huilkrans 750ml is one of South Africa’s most iconic single-origin Chenin Blancs, sourced from old dry-farmed bush vines planted between 1974 and 1989 on the remote Citrusdal Mountain.

Huilkrans is often described as the “baritone” of Alheit’s Chenin Blanc range—richer, deeper, and more powerful, yet still retaining the signature freshness and minerality of the Skurfberg terroir.

This is a highly limited-production wine with strong global demand, making it a prized bottle among collectors and fine wine enthusiasts.
