Question 4

What grape is this and what style of wine is it?

Accepted Answer

Magnetic North is 100% Chenin Blanc (the Cape's signature white cultivar), made by Alheit Vineyards. The producer lists 1.6 g/l residual sugar, so it is a dry white wine, not off-dry or sweet. It is a serious, single-vineyard Chenin rather than an everyday quaffer: fruit comes from old, dry-farmed, ungrafted bushvines, fermented wild in a large foudre and a concrete egg and aged on the lees. Expect a textured, mineral-driven white with bright acidity rather than a sweet or fruity easy-drinker.

Question 5

Where does it come from and what makes the vineyard special?

Accepted Answer

It is a Citrusdal Mountain Wine of Origin (in the wider Olifants River area of the Western Cape), not a Stellenbosch or Swartland wine. The estate sources it from two small, dry-farmed, ungrafted (own-rooted) Chenin parcels planted in 1981 and 1984, on a high ridge around 520m altitude on red iron-rich sandy soil over clay. Those old, low-yielding bushvines (1-2 tons/hectare) and the high, cool site are what drive its concentration and freshness, and why it sits at the premium end of SA white wine.

Question 6

What is the alcohol content, and how many bottles is this listing?

Accepted Answer

The producer states 13.5% alcohol for Magnetic North, a moderate level typical of a balanced dry white. This particular listing is a single 1.5L magnum (one large bottle holding the equivalent of two standard 750ml bottles), of the 2024 vintage. Magnums are popular for cellaring and for the table because the larger volume ages a touch more slowly and gracefully, and one bottle comfortably serves a group. It is sold here as a single magnum, not a multi-bottle case.

Question 7

Can I drink it now, and what food does it suit?

Accepted Answer

Yes - it is drinking now, and the magnum format also makes it well suited to keeping a few years if you prefer to cellar it (large bottles tend to age slowly); the producer gives no fixed cellaring window. As a dry, high-acid Chenin Blanc it pairs naturally with lighter, fresher dishes: roast or grilled chicken and pork, and oily or smoked fish such as salmon and trout, plus shellfish, creamy cheeses and Cape Malay or other lightly-spiced fare. Serve lightly chilled rather than ice-cold to show its texture.
