Colour: Deep garnet colour, dense and alluring with a cerise, crimson rim.
Bouquet: Dense autumn fruit and fynbos edge, with hint of charcuterie.
Taste: 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.
Perfect on its own or with roast chicken, pork belly and grilled beef. This wine also pairs well with matured cheese such as Cheddar and Edam and is a lovely accompaniment to creamy pasta dishes like wild mushroom risotto or alfredo.
