Platter's Review: 4 * (89 Points)

Considered a jewel of the Swartland, the Allesverloren Fine Old Vintage/Port is crafted from Tinta Barocca, Souzão, Pontac and a blend of Malvasia Rey, Tinta Röritz, Tinta Francisca and Touriga Nacional. Wine Master, Tim Atkin, awarded Allesverloren’s Fine Old Vintage the prestigious title of Best Value Fortified Wine of the Year, in his latest 2019 South Africa Report.

Beautifully integrated nuances on the nose of honey suckle and mince pies with subtle hints of black cherry and sweet spice.
A voluptuous praline and candied orange peel on the palate with wonderful balance between acidity and alcohol, finished off with lingering spicy fruit and a hint of dark chocolate ganache.

This wine is best paired with the likes of creamy gorgonzola soup, Black Forrest Gateau, mince pies and traditional Stilton or any other strong blue vein cheese.

Allesverloren, situated on the south-eastern slopes of the Kasteelberg near Riebeek West, is the oldest estate in the Swartland Wine of Origin district and is renowned
for its red wines and port. The farm, which dates back to 1704, began producing wine exactly one century later. In 1872 Allesverloren was acquired by Daniel Francois Malan and has remained in the Malan family for five generations.
Current owner, Danie Malan and his late father, Fanie, were among the wine pioneers of the Swartland, ably demonstrating the outstanding wine growing potential of what was once considered the breadbasket of the Cape.
