The Rustenberg Estate was founded in 1682 and is nestled in the valley of the Simonsberg Mountain in South Africa’s premium wine region. The Rustenberg Estate stands on an impressive 880 hectares against the iconic Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. When standing in the high vineyards of the Estate, the entire vista of Stellenbosch is revealed, with a glimpse of Table Mountain in the distance. Rustenberg was awarded National Heritage Site status in December 2004. Currently the property is owned by the Barlow Family (75 years)

A traditionally made, barrel fermented Chardonnay, the Rustenberg Stellenbosch Chardonnay is a combination of complexing factors from the vineyard, wild yeast and careful barrel age, aiming for balance and expression in each vintage. Aged for 10 months in used French oak barrels.

Wine Notes

Apricot, coconut and orange peel aromas followed by flavors of marzipan, sponge cake and citrus rounded off with carefully judged oak and balanced, fresh acidity .
Enjoy this wine with butter sautéed sea scallops, roasted vegetables and mashed potato 14% Alc.
