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.

Critics Ratings

'Pretty aromatics of red berries, rose, mint and some leafiness. The palate is light and fresh with nicely dry finish. Elegant and understated.' - Christian Eedes, 93/100 (Apr 2022)
