Information about "Alto Rouge 2023"
Alto Rouge captivates with its deep ruby hue, unveiling an intense bouquet of ripe blackberry, pine needles, and dried fig, complemented by subtle hints of smoked meat and fine oak spice. The 2023 vintage marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the 100th consecutive vintage of Alto Rouge. This full-bodied wine caresses the palate, showcasing soft, seductive tannins that are robust yet lend a refreshing vitality to its structure, ensuring the wine's remarkable aging potential.
The iconic Alto Rouge 2023 is crafted from a blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Shiraz, 23% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot.
Das Traubengut wurde handverlesen, woraufhin die unterschiedlichen Rebsorten separat bei einer kontrollierten Temperatur zwischen 25°C und 27°C in Tanks aus Edelstahl fermentierten. Der Wein reifte nach Abschluss der Gärung 14-16 Monate lang in Fässern aus französischer Eiche.
