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.

Heavy savoury oak aromas combined with pencil shavings and hints of dark fruits, plum and cassis. This wine shows great structure and balance. Initial Cabernet Sauvignon characteristics are followed up with a spicy finish from the Shiraz. With great tannin structure and a strong backbone this wine has excellent ageing potential.
