About this Item

Rustenberg
1974 Dry Red
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Founded in 1682, Rustenberg Estate on the Simonsberg foothills is one of the most historic and picturesque farms in South Africa. The farm was previously split into two estates, until 1945 when industrialist Peter Barlow purchased both farms and reunited them. Rustenberg is family-owned with son of Peter Barlow, Simon, owning the estate and grandson, Murray (2 x Diners Club Young Winemaker of the Year) now cellar master.

This wine has been checked and re-corked by Amorim cork under supervision of auction curator Higgo Jacobs, assuring provenance, quality and long life. Seal code QG-769361, nP-101677 can be traced on Amorim Recorking Directory

Critics Ratings

'Hugely complex aromatics of red and black berries, some leafiness, dried herbs, meat stock, earth and spice. The palate is full but wonderfully composed – the fruit is still present, and this is offset by lovely fine tannins. With layers of flavour and great length, this is a wine that combines power with refinement.' - Christian Eedes, 96/100 (Apr 2022)
