A blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Alto Rouge was aged in oak barrels for 18 months. A fruity wine with delicious flavours of toasty tobacco, chocolate and vanilla, the ideal wine for hearty red meat dishes and will age well.

Intense, vivid translucent youthful purple-ruby appearance. On the palate there are very pure Pinot fruit flavours on entry with red cherry and musk flavours coupled with fresh acidity. The wine has layered complexity with great elegance and finesse. Very fine lacy, almost powdery tannin on the finish.

Ideally served at 16°-18°C. White and red meats, Parma ham, grilled line fish, Tuna, wild mushrooms and traditional cheeses.

This wine, classic in style, was grown and produced on the historic Meerlust Estate which has been owned by the Myburgh family for eight generations.  It will complement fine food and benefit from further ageing.

100% Shiraz mostly from vineyards in�the Faure area of Stellenbosch as well as Helderberg and�Bottelary hills sites. Dark ruby with a vibrant pink rim. Generous red fruit with hints of cassis and pepper on the nose. Sumptuous entry with concentrated mulberry and fleshy plum fruit and white pepper well integrated with oak spice intrigue to the long succulent fruity finish. Soft ripe tannins give fullness and richness to the wine making it exceptionally easy to drink, whilst still retaining structure to support at least 5 years in the bottle.
