About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon, 1988
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

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.

Critics Ratings

‘Always unblended Cabernet, from low-crop, unirrigated mountain vines. ‘88 brilliant ruby colour, plummy aroma; though elegant, restrained, palate lined with solid fruit, some spicy/tarry notes. Definitive blend of Old/New Worlds. Winemaker: Hempies du Toit.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 1996, 4*

Provenance

Bergkelder - Vinoteque
