Neal Martin, Vinous

The 2020 Hemelrand Vine Garden comes from a field blend albeit planted in rows that makes it easier to manage. It is aged on the gross lees for 12 months. It has a wonderful bouquet with yellow plum, honeysuckle and a very slight petrolly scent, all supremely well defined. The palate is very well balanced with a saline entry, fine tension with a pithy, lightly spiced finish that lingers with touches of stem ginger and fennel. Maybe my pick of Alheit's 2020s? This is a profound white Rhône blend that will be fascinating to watch age in bottle.

Hemelrand Vine Garden is a unique vineyard that produces a unique wine. The idea is to
bottle the wine just as the vineyard produces it, effectively creating a white field blend
that changes every year depending on the vintage conditions. This way we have one
place expressed by a few different grapes, changing as the season dictates. Hemelrand
continues to fulfil its promise of excellence, showing increased depth and nuance yearon-year as the vines mature.
