Product Notes

Rustenberg Sauvignon Blanc is a South African premium white wine that boasts a unique, mature sophistication. The wine presents a vibrant straw hue with a crisp, expressive nose.

It has a well-balanced acidity which complements its full-bodied resilience, culminating in a lingering, luscious finish. The wine perfectly amalgamates elegance and intensity, offering an exceptional drinking experience. Its complexity and verve make it a perfect pairing for seafood or salads, while also being delightful on its own. Enjoy Rustenberg’s exquisite craftmanship chilled.

Tasting Notes

The nose displays intrinsic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics of tropical fruits, melon and gooseberry, with underlying tones of pineapple and passion fruit sustained on a fresh, crisp and well-balanced palate with prodigious length.
