Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine pairs well with hearty dishes such as beef, lamb, and venison​.

The grapes are sourced from vineyards located in Stellenbosch, particularly the Simonsberg Mountain area, which is well-known for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards are planted in Glenrosa, Bainsvlei, and Hutton soils, which contribute to the complexity of the wine.

This Cabernet Sauvignon underwent fermentation in stainless steel tanks before aging for 15 months in 225L French oak barrels, with 10% being new oak and the rest second to fifth fill barrels. This combination of barrel ages helps preserve the fruit character while imparting subtle oak influence​.

The Rustenberg Estate was founded in 1682 and is nestled in the valley of the Simonsberg Mountain in South Africa’s premium wine region Stellenbosch. Rustenberg’s rich heritage and ethos has been informed by many centuries of human influence striving to understand and work with nature to produce wines of distinct character true to their terroir variety and informed style.
