2022 ALHEIT CHENIN BLANC FIRE BY NIGHT
"The 2022 Fire by Night comes from the Paaderberg, mainly earlier-picked fruit on granite soils, matured cement and foudres, It offers orchard fruit, crushed granite and light chalky scents that gain intensity with aeration. It coheres extremely well in the glass. The palate is taut and linear, with fine freshness and tension in situ. It becomes brisk and quite saline towards the oyster shell- tinged finish. This is a tensile and edgy Fire By Night this year." Neal Martin Vinous Media 93 points Drink 2024-37
