Well-structured with a lengthy finish.

Description
Stellenbosch and the Simonsberg Mountain range are synonymous with the production of great Cabernet Sauvignon. Just over one third of Rustenberg’s vineyard plantings are dedicated to this variety and it is used through all of our blended red wines, and the famous site specific Peter Barlow.
The Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon is made in a more fruit forward and medium bodied style and is accessible in its youth but will benefit from further bottle age.
We recommend decanting this wine before serving.

Platter’s | 91pts
“Cab reflecting not only its Stellenbosch origin but also vintage. 2018 well built, with ripe fruit & good freshness, if less deep, rich than classic 2017 (93 pts). Oak, 20% new, judged to complement & allow for medium-term ageing.”

Decanter | 90pts – Silver
“Spicy graphite-tinged black fruits meet tilled earth, leather, and notes of cedar and wood spice. Silky and soft, fleshy yet ultra-pure.”
