Rustenberg Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

Rustenberg Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon shows typical flavour and aroma profiles of dark berries and tobacco with a well-structured and lengthy palate. Although this wine spent 16 months on oak, only 10% of it was new and the result is a fleshiness and a touch of sweet spice rather than vanilla and smoke.

Stellenbosch and the Simonsberg Mountain range are synonymous with the production of great Cabernet Sauvignon. Just over one third of Rustenberg's vineyard plantings are dedicated to this variety and it is used both individually and as a constituent all of its blended red wines. The Rustenberg Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon is made in a fruit forward and medium bodied style and is most accessible in its youth, although it will benefit from further bottle age.
