Suzaan and Chris Alheit of Alheit Vineyards.
Chris and Suzaan Alheit just creamed 5 Stars in Platter’s 2013 for their maiden vintage Cartology 2011. It’s categorised as a Chenin Blanc in the guide but includes 8% Semillon and when I encountered it, I thought it was more of a “Cape Blend” than a straight varietal wine (see here).
