Rustenberg Sauvignon Blanc Stellenbosch 2023

Description

A very classic Sauvignon Blanc with notes of tropical fruits, melon and gooseberry, with underlying tones of apple blossom, kiwi, pineapple and passion fruit sustained on a fresh, crisp and well-balanced palate with prodigious length.

"A saline and precise sauvignon blanc with yellow plums, mango rind and stones. It’s medium-bodied with balance and bright acidity lifting up the palate. It has a mineral dimension on the mid-palate and a more fruity and focused finish."
92 points. James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com (November 2023)

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch, located in South Africa’s Western Cape, is one of the country’s most renowned wine regions, celebrated for its premium wines and prestigious vineyards. It benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, perfect for cultivating high-quality grapes.
The area is particularly known for its robust reds, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which exhibit deep fruit flavours and complex, well-structured profiles. The whites, such as Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc, are noted for their crisp acidity and vibrant fruit character.
Historically, Stellenbosch is significant as it was one of the first areas settled by Dutch colonists in the late 17th century. The wine industry in Stellenbosch began to develop in the 19th century, and today, it remains a cornerstone of South Africa’s wine heritage, blending traditional techniques with modern innovation to produce exceptional wines.
