The red wine Alto Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2017 from the winery Alto Wine Estate has been rated in 2022 by Anne Krebiehl with 92 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Cabernet Sauvignon from the region Stellenbosch in South Africa.
Grown on the north-facing slopes of the Helderberg, this benefits from fresh ocean breezes. Hints of blueberry, toastiness and a touch of vanilla make for a most sumptuous nose. The palate carries on just like that, in a velvety sweep of smooth, dense, full fruit. Fine freshness only underlines these attributes while the tannins brush gently against the palate. All the while the very depth of fruit becomes ever more apparent. The finish is wonderfully drying and mouth-watering.
