About this Item
The Iconic Helderberg property has title deeds back to 1693. Hennie and son Manie Malan recognized the property’s unique terroir for crafting full-bodied red wines early on, but it was Piet du Toit in 1959 that put Alto on top. Heritage and tradition married with evolution and innovation are the hallmarks of this estate situated in the golden triangle of Stellenbosch. Only five winemakers have crafted wines at Alto over eight decades.
The Alto Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 represents a combination of exceptional vintage conditions, the unique terroir of Stellenbosch, the quality of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, and the expertise of the winemaking team at Alto Estate, making it a special wine worthy of attention from enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The benchmark 2009 competes with 2015 as the best Cabernets produced by Alto remaining true to their classic styling.
