Print product information sheet

The Alto Rouge consists of 5 grape varieties: Cabernet Franc, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The grapes for this wine come from north- and northwest-facing vineyards located on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains. Thus, the vines are cooled by a fresh breeze in the afternoon, supporting the wine’s elegance and balance. The Alto Rouge is a deep ruby-red in the glass. On the nose, aromas of red fruit are predominant, along with hints of chocolate and light notes of woodchips. This cuvée is distinguished by its soft tannins and wonderful fruit aromas. Overall, this is a wine with style, lots of complexity and a high ageing potential. Winemaker Bertho van de Westhuizen recommends enjoying the Alto Rouge with game birds and tender red meat.

Alto Wine Estate

Alto gehört zu den traditionsreichsten Rotwein-Weingütern Südafrikas und liegt an den nördlichen Hängen des Helderbergs in der renommierten Weinregion Stellenbosch. Seine Wurzeln reichen zurück bis ins Jahr 1919, der erste Jahrgang wurde 1922 vinifiziert. Seit über einem Jahrhundert steht Alto für charaktervolle Rotweine, die das besondere Terroir des sogenannten Golden Triangle widerspiegeln. Bemerkenswert ist dabei die Kontinuität des Weinguts: In seiner mehr als 100-jährigen Geschichte haben lediglich fünf Kellermeister den Stil der Weine geprägt – ein Ausdruck der konsequenten Ausrichtung auf Qualität, Tradition und Herkunft.

Die Weinberge erstrecken sich in Höhenlagen zwischen 100 und 500 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel. Verwitterte Granitböden, warme Sonnentage und die kühlenden Meeresbrisen der nahen False Bay schaffen ideale Bedingungen für den Anbau hochwertiger Rotweinsorten. Das Herzstück des Weinguts bildet dabei besonders der Cabernet Sauvignon, der seit Jahrzehnten den unverwechselbaren Stil von Alto prägt. Im Sortiment finden sich vor allem kraftvolle Rotweine wie Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, der legendäre Alto Rouge sowie exklusive Cuvées, bekannt für Tiefe, Eleganz und hervorragendes Reifepotenzial.

Heute führt Kellermeister Bertho van der Westhuizen die Philosophie des Hauses fort. Mit größtem Respekt vor dem Terroir und einer zurückhaltenden Vinifikation entstehen Weine, die Kraft, Finesse und Herkunft harmonisch miteinander verbinden. Alto gilt damit als einer der bedeutendsten Botschafter südafrikanischer Rotweinkultur und genießt weltweit einen hervorragenden Ruf.
