About this Item

2019 Hemelrand Vine Garden
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Hemelrand is situated on the cold and windy Hemel & Aarde Ridge at 360 meters above sea level, on gravelly clay, and Sandstone. The vineyard was planted in 2010 to Chardonnay, Roussanne, Verdelho, Chenin blanc, and Muscat Blanc a Petit grain. However, as mentioned, the proportions of the different grapes produced significantly varies each vintage. Viticulturally speaking, this is a marginal site, the upside of which is slow ripening with high natural acidity.

Critics Ratings

'The garden around the cellar at Hemelrand on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge is a field blend of white grapes, planted back in 2010 on gravel and sandstone soils. Made with mostly Roussanne, with support from 56% Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Verdelho and a soupçon of Muscat, this is floral, charming and nuanced, with peach, pear and orange zest flavours, subtle wood and supporting acidity. 2021-26' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 93/100
