Rustenberg is known worldwide for its high quality and first class Chardonnays. The Rustenberg Stellenbosch Chardonnay presents itself with an unbeatably complex bouquet of exciting aromas such as apricot, coconut and orange peel followed by palatable nuances of marzipan, biscuit and citrus. Notes that are rounded off by deliciously subtle oak spice and harmonise with the incredibly fresh acidity. A masterpiece of a Chardonnay!

The grapes for the Rustenberg Chardonnay were pressed all over the bunch and naturally fermented in oak barrels with a capacity of 300 l. The wine then matured for 10 months in 100% French barriques. 25% of the barrels were new wood, while the remaining part matured in second, third and fourth filled barrels.
