Deep garnet colour, dense and alluring with a cerise, crimson rim. Dense autumn fruit and fynbos edge, with hint of charcuterie. Notes of succulent plum, crushed blackberry and dry fig are at the fore, while the complexity of classic grape cultivars allow for intricate flavours of pine-needle and graphite to join the fruit in an interwoven whole. Tannins are plush and beguiling, yet muscular and firm, ensuring life-affirming freshness in structure, as well as the proven ageabiity of Alto Rouge from a fine vintage.
