Chris and Suzaan Alheit are husband and wife in life and partners in the winery and in the vineyard. A true family affair as Chris' parents are also involved in the business!
The Alheits have worked in the wine industry in Cape Town, but also in California, Western and South Australia, Germany in the Mosel Valley and have travelled to some of the world's greatest wine producing countries. They look to Europe as their wine-making model and are convinced that South Africa's wine-growing terroirs can produce great wines.
