Alto Rouge 750 ml
The 2022 Vintage released in 2024 marks an extraordinary milestone as we celebrate the release of our 100th consecutive vintage of Alto Rouge. This iconic vintage is a blend of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Shiraz, 12% Cabernet franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The nose shows beautiful aromas of succulent plum, crushed blackberry and dry fig.. WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS. 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.. Food pairing: 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.. WINEMAKING. The 4 grape varieties used to make up this blend ripen at different times and were harvested at 24° to 26° Balling. Each varietal was vinified separately and fermented on the skins for over seven days at 25° to 27°C in closed stainless-steel tanks. The fermenting mash was pumped over several times a day. After malolactic fermentation the component wines were aged for 18 months in a combination of first-, second- and third-fill barriques, of 90% French and 10% American oak, before the desired blend was made.. WINEMAKER: Bertho v. d. Westhuizen. APPELLATION: Stellenbosch. GRAPE VARIETALS: 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Shiraz, 12% Cabernet franc, 2% Petit Verdot.
