More Information - Alto Shiraz

Our award-winning Shiraz is bright and rich in colour with notes of blackcurrant, plum and a charcuterie savouriness. The tannins are muscular with hints of white pepper and fynbos in the finish. A beautiful wine to drink now but will age brilliantly over the next 10 years.

Back Story & Wine Information

Alto is a farm with a rich history, befitting its status as one of the icon estates of the Western Cape winelands. The first title deeds date back to 1693, but it was only in 1919 that the farm was given over entirely to vineyard. That was thanks to the foresight of the farmer Manie Malan who, together with his father Hennie, recognised that the property’s unique aspect, soils and slopes were ideal for crafting full-bodied red wines. They named the farm Alto, homage to both the farm’s altitude and the family’s pursuit of excellence.
