KING OF THE REDS! Cabernet Sauvignon was one of t KING OF THE REDS!

Cabernet Sauvignon was one of the first varietals planted on @altowineestate, and they have been crafting a single varietal estate wine since 1965. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿท

The 2019 vintage showcases the distinctive character of their unique Helderberg terroir, offering aromas of rich, dark fruit and hints of fynbos. The palate is defined by firm, structured tannins with a luxurious depth of fruit and graphite undertones.

This Cabernet Sauvignon was honoured as a Top 10 wine in the Wine Mag Prescient Cabernet Sauvignon report 2023, awarded double gold by Veritas and received 93 points by both Wine Advocate and Gilbert & Gaillard International tasting.

While this wine is already drinking beautifully now, it has been crafted to evolve and gain greater complexity over the next 10 to 15 years.

THE GOLDEN PROMISE โ€“ @ernieelswines "Each vint THE GOLDEN PROMISE โ€“ @ernieelswines 

"Each vintage brings new challenges, but the pursuit of perfection never gets old. After 25 years, Iโ€™m still inspired by how we adapt to the land and how we craft something exceptional from what nature gives us." โ€“ Louis Strydom, Winemaker

This morning marked the start of thier Cabernet Sauvignon harvest, which makes up 60% of the vineyards. 

These vines are strategically planted north and north-east on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain to capture as much sunlight as possible throughout the day, ensuring optimal ripeness. 

Nestled in the heart of the Golden Triangle, this site benefits from a unique combination of terroir โ€“ rich soils, ideal sun exposure, and a Mediterranean climate โ€“ that consistently delivers exceptional fruit quality.

With every vintage, the teams continue to refine their techniques, but the goal remains the same: to craft wines that reflect the true character of the Helderberg region and highlight the incredible potential of the Cabernet Sauvignon varietal.

The (golden) promise of each harvest lies in the opportunity to discover something extraordinary within the land, season after season.
