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.

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.
