Product Notes

Rustenberg Merlot is an elegant red wine that is produced in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. It is made from 100% Merlot grapes, which are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure the highest quality. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, which lends it a complex and refined flavor profile. Rustenberg Merlot has a deep ruby color and aromas of black cherry, plum, and cedar. These flavors are carried through to the palate, which is rich and full-bodied with soft tannins and a long, smooth finish. It pairs well with a variety of meat-based dishes, such as grilled steak or lamb roast.

About the Winery

Rustenberg

The history of Rustenberg dates back to 1682. At that time, Roelof Pasman of Meurs recognised the potential of grapevine cultivation and wine production the place held. By 1781, he saw to it that about 3000 wine cases got created at the farm. The rate doubled as the century progressed towards its end. It compelled the winery to build a cellar. The produced wines have been bottled here for a continuous period ever since 1892.
