WINE DESCRIPTION

Rustenberg Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by Rustenberg Wines, a renowned winery located in the Stellenbosch appellation of South Africa. The vineyards are situated on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, which provides ideal growing conditions for the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including handpicking and sorting of the grapes, and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a classic expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, with rich flavors of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and tobacco, balanced by firm tannins and a long, elegant finish. Rustenberg Cabernet Sauvignon is a must-try for any wine lover looking for a high-quality, full-bodied red wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Rustenberg Cabernet Sauvignon is a well-structured and balanced wine, with blackberry and dark cherry aromas on the nose.The palate is a combination of ripe cassis and blackberry flavours, with a touch of herbal notes and a hint of oak. The tannins are soft, and the finish is long and lingering. Enjoy this wine now, or age it further to further develop the complexity.
