Mountain wine, granite. Nice orange pith and lovely touch pomegranate. Lovely floral, focussed character, plenty of salinity. Long and pure and fine, and such purity. More mineral. Limey.
Fire by Night comes from a farm that Chris Alheit acquired in August 2019, which secures the source of this impressive Chenin. Made with fruit from a cooler, morning sun-facing parcel, it shows the taut, almost austere minerality that's a feature of the Nuwedam farm, layers of spice, lees and subtle oak and lovely precision.
