Description:
The Rustenberg Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc is grown at some of the highest altitudes in the Stellenbosch region; just over 550m above sea level, right against the Simonsberg Mountain. The cooling effect of altitude and the oceanic breeze make this ideal place for a full flavoured, more tropical styled Sauvignon Blanc. Made with no oak the wines are aged on their lees to balance out the wines natural acidity.

90/100 Points Decanter magazine. "A bright and fresh palate with grapefruit, hints of blood orange, and tangy acids with a round mouthfeel and long finish."

Tasting Note:
The 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.
