The bouquet of the Rustenberg John X Merriman pampers your senses with diverse notes of dark plums, black currants, sour cherries and tobacco. On the palate, this blend, consisting mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and a smaller percentage of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, is medium-bodied, with a pleasant structure and noticeable tannins that become increasingly subtle over the years. This is already a powerful, high-quality wine that will benefit considerably from additional ageing. The Rustenberg John X Merriman matured for 20 months in French oak casks, of which 35% were new barriques. Second- and third-fill barrels were used as well.

This red wine is dedicated to John Xavier Merriman, a former owner of the Rustenberg estate. He acquired the winery in 1892, breathing new life into it.

Rustenberg Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc
This wonderfully fresh Sauvignon Blanc has a nose hinting of tropical fruit, melon and gooseberries with subtle notes of pineapple and passion fruit. The South African white wine is comparable to a Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. It is stimulating on the palate, with a great balance, a crisp acidity and a long, spicy finish.The grapes come from vineyards located in Stellenbosch, situated almost 600 metres above sea level. To bring its fruitiness into focus, the Rustenberg Sauvignon Blanc was deliberately not aged in wooden casks. This rather low-yield but absolutely healthy vintage produced wonderfully ripe grapes with intense aromas, offering a lovely, natural acidity. You’ll enjoy discovering this great taste experience.

Anthonij Rupert Optima
Eine Cuvee aus den Rebsorten Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot und Petit Verdot. Es handelt sich also um einen sogenannten Bordeaux Blend. Ein dunkles Violett im Glas lässt schon die Komplexität dieses Rotweines erahnen. Die Nase zeigt sich verführerisch und dicht. Der Anthonij Rupert Optima duftet herrlich nach Pfeffer und dunklen Früchten. Am Gaumen wunderbar elegant und geschmeidig mit Noten von Blaubeere, Cassis, Zedernholz, Veilchen, Kakao und Zigarrenkiste. Die samtige Textur mit feinen geschliffenen Tanninen verleiht dem Wein eine besondere Raffinesse. Dabei sind die Eichenaromen stets harmonisch integriert. 20 Monate verbrachte der Antonij Rupert Optima in Barrique Fässern, was ihm eine umfangreiche Aromatik gibt. In allen Belangen ein besonderer Rotwein. Anthonij Rupert Optima genießt man am besten zu Steak vom Grill oder einem indischen Curry Gericht.
