RUSTENBERG
2018 Peter Barlow Cabernet Sauvignon
| Grapes | Cab Sauv |
| Colour | Red |
| Origin | South Africa |
| ABV | 14.5% |
This wine is full of ripe dark-fruit aromas with hints of mint, pinewood and pencil shavings. Medium-to full- bodied with a mild fruit core, fine tannins and a long, fruity finish. Wood is coming out at the moment. Needs time to soften. Sustainable. Better after 2022. Drinking range: 2022 - James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Jan 2022)

The “Peter Barlow” derives its name from the man who bought the property in 1941 and lovingly restored it to become a South African icon in the wine industry. Being made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the oldest vineyard on the estate, the Peter Barlow is a rich, robust varietal example of the exceptional quality and age-ability of Cabernet made on the Estate and in the Simonsberg region. A highly collected wine which will age gracefully under the correct cellaring conditions. Concentrated cassis, black cherries and some herbaceousness on the nose and palate.Winemaker's notes (Mar 2021)
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.
