Alto Shiraz is an intense flavoured wine brimming with traditional Shiraz aromas. This is a well integrated wine that was aged for 18 months in small American and French oak barrels and shows excellent ageing potential. Superb on its own or with any red meat dishes.

Sourced from hand-harvested fruit in the acclaimed Stellenbosch region, this Shiraz exhibits an abundance of red and dark berry fruit supported by a well-structured palate and fine grained tannins. This wine was cask matured for 15 months in French oak barriques, and will benefit from further maturation under ideal cellaring conditions.
Rijk's Cellar is situated in the historic and picturesque valley of Tulbagh, where wines have been made for over three centuries.
Elegance, finesse and concentration of fruit are the hallmarks of Rijk's wines. In the last 14 years Rijk's Pinotage has won more local and international awards than any other producer of Pinotage in the world. Cellermaster Pierre Wahl specially selected 15 barrels of the 2012 vintage to roudly release Rijk's Reserve Pinotage.
