About this Item
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.

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)
