Peter Barlow Cabernet Sauvignon, Stellenbosch, Rustenberg

This is Rustenberg’s top wine, named in honour of Peter Barlow, who founded the winery 1941 and whose family still runs the estate today. 100% Cabernet from the estate’s finest vineyard, planted in 1990 on the south-western slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. A deep, multi-layered wine, with a bold and up-front character and velvety texture from 20 months in French oak barriques. Concentrated cassis and black cherry, with subtle herbaceous notes. Great ageing potential and an excellent choice for collector’s seeking an iconic South African wine for their cellars.
