Description

James Suckling Review
Rated 92
Attractive nose of dark cherries, dark plums, dried herbs, cedar and baking spices follow through to a medium body with firm tannins. Compact with a rigid core of creamy dark berries and a powdery finish with some length. Drink or hold.

Alto Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Classic. Powerful. A benchmark South African Cabernet from one of Stellenbosch's most historic estates.
Alto has been crafting world-class Cabernet for more than a century, and the 2019 vintage continues that legacy with depth, structure, and unmistakable Stellenbosch character. Grown on north-facing granite slopes and cooled by maritime breezes, this Cabernet delivers richness, purity, and age-worthy balance.
