So much so, that we’re keeping quite a bit more than usual for ourselves. This bottling is intensely flavored; ripe pear, honey and limey citrus come to mind. There are herbal\/ floral notes too - spearmint and lime leaf. As with all of our 2015’s, the natural acid is a treat.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-01-26T10:23:45-06:00","created_at":"2017-09-19T12:38:48-05:00","vendor":"Sunfish Cellars Wine \u0026 Spirits","type":"Wine","tags":["90pt","Country_South Africa","Producer_Alheit Vineyards","Region_Western Cape","Size_750ml","Varietal_Chenin Blanc","Vintage_2015","Wine"],"price":4799,"price_min":4799,"price_max":4799,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":5499,"compare_at_price_min":5499,"compare_at_price_max":5499,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":38836862998,"title":"Western Cape \/ Chenin Blanc \/ 2015","option1":"Western Cape","option2":"Chenin Blanc","option3":"2015","sku":"111520160001","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Alheit Bush Vines \"Cartology\" 2015 - Western Cape \/ Chenin Blanc \/ 2015","public_title":"Western Cape \/ Chenin Blanc \/ 2015","options":["Western Cape","Chenin Blanc","2015"],"price":4799,"weight":1360,"compare_at_price":5499,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"111520160001","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/cartology-resize.jpg?v=1624040517"],"featured_image":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/cartology-resize.jpg?v=1624040517","options":["Region","Varietal","Vintage"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":20487937916971,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.952,"height":1134,"width":1080,"src":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/cartology-resize.jpg?v=1624040517"},"aspect_ratio":0.952,"height":1134,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/sunfishcellars.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/cartology-resize.jpg?v=1624040517","width":1080}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eName: \u003c\/b\u003eAlheit Bush Vines 'Cartology' \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry: \u003c\/b\u003eSouth Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion: \u003c\/b\u003eWestern Cape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer: \u003c\/b\u003eAlheit Vineyards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize: \u003c\/b\u003e750ml\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarietal: \u003c\/b\u003eChenin Blanc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"This Chenin Blanc-based wine, with 14% Sémillon, is complex, layered and evolving, expressing different waves of flavor and texture with each sip.
