Rustenberg John X Merriman

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

Das Weingut Rustenberg Wines liegt in der weltberühmten südafrikanischen Weinregion Stellenbosch und ist sicher eines der schönsten und beeindruckendsten Weingüter der Gegend. Atemberaubend liegt das Weingut an den Hängen des Simonsbergs und schon der Weg dorthin durch grandiose Parklandschaften ist ein Genuss. Mehr als 160 Hektar Weinland werden hier bewirtschaftet.

Rustenberg hat eine lange Geschichte, denn bereits im Jahre 1682 wurde das Weingut gegründet. Das Gut produziert Weißweine aus Chardonnay und Sauvignon Blanc. Der Name Rustenberg steht allerdings hauptsächlich für Premium-Rotweine, die meist mit einer hohen Affinität zu Bordeaux-Weinen kreiert werden. Durch die jahrhundertealte Tradition und ungeheure Erfahrung gelingen hier bei Rustenberg Weine mit außerordentlicher Kraft und Fülle, die überregional einen exzellenten Ruf genießen.

Seit 1987 leitet Simon Barlow die Geschäfte. Die Familie Barlow ist bald ein ganzes Jahrhundert an der Spitze bei Rustenberg. Im Jahr 2012 trat Simons Sohn Murray Barlow dem Unternehmen bei und wird mit Sicherheit die Familientradition weiterführen.

Rustenberg Stellenbosch Chardonnay
Notes of apricot, orange zest, and coconut come together in the multifaceted bouquet of the Rustenberg Stellenbosch Chardonnay. They are beautifully rounded out by notes of marzipan, citrus, and oak. On the palate, this South African white wine is fresh, fruit-forward, and well-balanced, with lovely acidity and a delicate finish featuring hints of peach. This single-varietal Chardonnay was aged for 9 months in 300-liter oak barrels. A quarter of the barrels used were new, while the rest were second-, third-, and fourth-fill barrels.The Rustenberg Winery is also known worldwide for its Chardonnay creations. The Stellenbosch Chardonnay, which has received over 90 points from The Wine Advocate on multiple occasions, once again demonstrates the winery’s expertise in aging Chardonnay in oak and striking the right balance between fruitiness, oak, and acidity.

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.
