Rustenberg's 2015 Merlot exemplifies the estate's mastery of this variety in Stellenbosch's cooler slopes. Sourced from vineyards on the lower slopes of the Simonsberg mountains, t his wine balances ripe fruit concentration with elegant structure, showing the refined character that has made Rustenberg one of South Africa's most respected producers. At eleven years of age, the wine has developed beautiful secondary complexity whilst retaining its core of dark fruit. The tannins have softened to a silky texture, making this an ideal choice for drinking now until 2030. This represents excellent value for a mature Stellenbosch Merlot from a top estate. Show more
