Alto Stratus 2010 is listed among the 50 best red wines for winter 2012 according to the wine critic Jane MacQuitty of the famous English newspaper "The Times".

"Carignan has had a bad press for years for no good reason, but this dark, delicious purple-black festive drop, with lots of plump plum, prune and blackberry flavours, is just what's wanted with duck or woodcock with a blackberry sauce."
