About this Item
1985 Rouge
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
The 1985 Rouge was legendary Gerhard 'Hempies' du Toit's third vintage, after taking over the reins from his father in the newly built estate cellar. Few wineries can lay claim to levels of trust in quality and ageability as Alto reds.

Critics Ratings
'Change in blend, now Cabernet Sauvignon, Franc and Merlot with some Shiraz. Slightly lighter style than unblended Cabernet Sauvignon. Some sweetish hints of mulberries on palate, with attractive cedary introduction in the bouquet. Formerly blend of Cabernet with Shiraz and some Tinta Barocca.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 1989
