Product Notes

Rustenberg Malbec is a captivating South African wine known for its luxurious flavour and high-quality finish. Its rich, deep ruby colour introduces an enticing fusion of juicy red fruits, hints of violets, and subtle spice nuances. This wine boasts a well-structured palate, dominated by bold tannins, enhanced by its ageing process in French oak barrels. Rustenberg Malbec presents a perfect balance of acidity and fruitiness, making it an excellent complement for robust dishes. Renowned for its skilled winemaking, Rustenberg winery artfully crafts this Malbec to enthrall both the casual sippers and wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

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