About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon, 1982
1 (1 x 1) 5000ml

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.

Classic Alto elegance, in perfect drinking condition out of the large formats. From the celebrated 1982 vintage, and in a unique 5L bottle, this vintage was a Gold medal winner at SA Young Wine Show, made to last and not released from the farm until aged for 6 years in those days.
