Fire by Night showcases the quality of the Alheits' Nuwedam property on the decomposed granite soils of the Paardeberg. The yields were painfully low at 0.5 tons per hectare, but the wine is serene, not stressed with lots of pithy acidity, the saltiness of its terroir, some earthy notes from 50% cement ageing, green apple and lemon juice flavours and steely, obsidian-like acidity. 2026-32

The 2024 Fire by Night comes from granite soils in Paardeberg in Swartland, from vines planted between 1972 and 1985, the wine kept on the lees for 12 months. This has real complexity on the nose, with touches of beeswax and yellow fruit, just a hint of Clementine. Plenty of energy. The palate is fresh and vibrant, with a keen line of acidity, plenty of tension and quite minimalist on the finish in a good way. Less is more, as they say.
