2022 Peter Barlow Cabernet Sauvignon
| Grapes | Cab Sauv |
| Colour | Red |
| Origin | South Africa |
| ABV | 14.5% |
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Peter Barlow comes from a parcel on the mountainous foothills that is not vinified every year (it was not made in 2016 because of fire, nor in 2014/2023 due to wet conditions.) It matured for 20 months in two-thirds new French oak. Presenting a slightly lusher bouquet than the John X Merriman, it leans toward higher-toned red fruit, commingling with fennel and mint. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins that frame the lightly spiced fruit notes. Perhaps more refined than the 2021, this lingers nicely in the mouth—quite Médoc-like on the finish. This is worth seeking out, and it’s a good value to boot. Drinking range: 2025 - 2037 Rating: 92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Sept 2024)

We offer free nationwide delivery on all orders over £150 (excluding Highlands & Islands). Express Delivery options also available.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.
