Rustenberg Stellenbosch malbec

Malbec has found a welcoming home in Stellenbosch. Flourishing along with the other Bordeaux varieties that the region is renowned for, Malbec is best known in Stellenbosch for producing very expressive wines that are more approachable in their youth than Cabernet or Merlot. This wine is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a generous mid-palate.

In its youth, the wine exhibits very attractive purple hues with dark fruit flavours, such as plum, blackberry, and violet, along with pepper and tobacco. As the wine ages, it will reveal a more savoury fruit profile.

With the passage of time, this noble elixir grows in complexity, its flavors deepening, becoming ever more savory, ever more profound. It is a draught that ages with grace, each passing year unveiling new layers of its soul. Whether it accompanies a feast or stands alone in quiet contemplation, Rustenberg’s Malbec offers a delight that endures, a taste that lingers in memory long after the glass is empty.
