A classic and structured South African red wine from the renowned Stellenbosch region.
Alto Rouge 2022 is an elegant red blend that balances ripe fruit with savoury depth and a firm backbone. Deep garnet in colour with a crimson rim, it opens with aromas of dense autumn fruits, fynbos, and a subtle charcuterie note. On the palate, this Stellenbosch red blend delivers layers of succulent plum, crushed blackberry, and dried fig, with hints of pine needle and graphite adding complexity. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz-led blend gives both structure and richness, while the tannins are plush yet muscular, leading to a long, refined finish with fresh acidity. A polished and expressive South African red that offers both immediate appeal and the structure to develop further.

"This is one of those proper ‘Sunday roast’ reds – classic, comforting, and seriously good value. It’s got that Bordeaux-like feel but with a sunny Stellenbosch generosity. The fact it’s the 100th vintage just makes it feel a bit special too."
Alto is one of the most respected names in Stellenbosch, with over a century of winemaking heritage in South Africa’s famous Golden Triangle. Perched on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains, the estate benefits from cooling maritime breezes and varied elevations, helping to produce structured, age-worthy wines. The vineyards, rooted in Hutton and Glenrosa soils, give depth and character, while a consistent winemaking philosophy focused on estate-grown fruit ensures quality and identity in every vintage.
This South African red wine from Stellenbosch delivers classic structure with generous dark fruit and savoury complexity. It’s a brilliant all-rounder for hearty dishes or relaxed evenings, offering a taste of one of the Cape’s most historic producers at great value.
