This incredible chenin blanc-based wine is lighter and more lifted and dainty than some on this page, but it is fabulously persistent and enveloping. With a honeysuckle and pear nose and slick, honeyed palate this is an all-purpose sweetie with great style and élan. Daily Mail, February 2011.Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com

Rustenberg

Vineyards producing the grapes for Rustenberg's wines climb the rich red slopes of the Simonsberg and Helderberg. The style of wine determines the vineyard to be used: Rustenberg has a history of success with reds.

The viticulturist, Nico Walters, and his dedicated team have been working hard to rejuvenate their vineyards by planting virus-free vines imported from France. A small-scale nursery has been started for propagation, providing available rootstock for upgrading, replanting and experimentation. Controlled irrigation is used when necessary to alleviate stressed vines and maximise the quality of the grapes. All grapes are hand-harvested in the early mornings and all vineyard blocks vinified separately, then blended for added complexity.
