Rustenberg Stellenbosch rm nicholson

The name for this wine comes from a former owner-winemaker of the estate; the charismatic Reginald Merriman Nicholson, who lived and worked on the vineyard for 30 years and was the creator of Rustenberg’s famous “Dry Red”. Just as the Dry Red was an unconventional blend, the RM Nicholson is a new world style blend of Bordeaux and Rhone varietals aiming to express the typicity of each vintage, unrestrained by convention to create a great wine.
Blackcurrant aromas are complemented by scents of dried herbs and notes of black pepper and spice, followed by serious structure from the Bordeaux varieties and finishing off with softness from the Shiraz.

The Rustenberg Stellenbosch RM Nicholson is an exquisite blend with alluring blackcurrant aromas, enhanced by dried herbs and a hint of black pepper and spice. The Bordeaux varieties provide a robust structure, seamlessly balanced by the Shiraz's soft finish. This wine offers a sophisticated and harmonious experience, where complexity and elegance intertwine beautifully, making it an exceptional choice for discerning palates seeking depth and refinement in every sip.

The Rustenberg Stellenbosch RM Nicholson is a really nice wine with blackcurrant flavors, some dried herbs, and a bit of black pepper and spice. It has a solid, rich feel from the Bordeaux grapes, but then finishes smoothly thanks to the Shiraz. It’s a great mix of strong and soft, perfect for a cozy evening or a nice dinner.

The Rustenberg Stellenbosch RM Nicholson is a wine of honor and balance.
