Rustenberg Stellenbosch Chardonnay

The multi-faceted bouquet of the Rustenberg Stellenbosch Chardonnay unites notes of apricots, orange peel and coconut, wonderfully complemented by nuances of marzipan, citrus fruit and oak. This Chardonnay is fresh, fruity and well-balanced on the palate, with lovely acidity and a fine finish offering peach aromas. This pure varietal Chardonnay matured for 12 months in 300-litre oak casks, of which one quarter were new barrels. Second-, third- and fourth-fill barrels were used as well.

The Rustenberg estate is globally renowned for its Chardonnay wines. With this wine, the winery demonstrates once again its excellent skills in ageing Chardonnay wines in wood and finding the right balance between fruitiness, wood and acidity.

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.

Aaldering Chardonnay Stellenbosch
The Aaldering Chardonnay has an intense bouquet offering notes of peach, lime and mandarin. On the palate, the white wine from the Devon Valley shows a lovely fullness, a creamy juiciness and a prolonged finish as well. This pure varietal Chardonnay consists of three components: the juice delivered by the freshly harvested grapes before they are pressed (‘free run juice’), the part of the wine which was fermented in second-, third- and fourth-fill barrels as well as the must which was aged in stainless steel tanks, making this blend a special taste experience.The Aaldering Chardonnay has a good ageing potential of 5 to 7 years.

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 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.

Buitenverwachting Chardonnay
The Buitenverwachting Chardonnay from the Constantia region (South Africa) is a powerful and elegant white wine that impressively reflects the special climatic conditions of this cool coastal location. The contact with the fresh winds of the Atlantic and the mineral granite soils give the wine a distinctive freshness and fine structure.In the glass, the Chardonnay is a sparkling golden yellow. The nose seduces with notes of citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, exotic fruits such as mango and pineapple as well as a hint of flint, vanilla and gently toasted wood. The interplay of freshness, fruit and elegantly integrated oak spice makes this wine authentic and multi-layered.On the palate, the white wine is full-bodied and creamy, balanced by a lively acidity. Ageing in French oak - typically several months in barriques - provides additional depth and a persistent texture without overpowering the freshness.At a drinking temperature of 10-12°C, Buitenverwachting Chardonnay is an ideal accompaniment to roast chicken, cold salmon, rich vegetables or soft cheese. It also unfolds its elegance particularly impressively on its own.
