"An intriguing addition to the Alto range, this is a fortified Cape Vintage style made from Syrah, as opposed to the more common Portuguese varieties. Youthful, intense and concentrated, this has appealing fig, dark chocolate and blackberry jam flavours, understated oak and 101 grams of residual sugar. 2027-32" – Tim Atkin MW South Africa Report 2026, 90 points
Taste profile
On the palate
Blood orange and hibiscus lead into plum, white pepper and warm baking spice. The palate is rich and savoury, with silky tannins, layered sweetness and a long citrus-spiced finish. A strong fit if you like fortified reds with dark fruit, spice and enough freshness to keep the sweetness in balance.
