Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2025, Rustenberg

Description Rustenberg is a well-known producer of high quality Chardonnays and the Stellenbosch Chardonnay embodies Rustenberg’s house style. Careful tending and selection in the vineyard followed by traditional wild barrel fermentation and maturation produces a classic Chardonnay balancing the expression of fruit, freshness, full malolactic fermentation and the influence of oak.  The 2024 Rustenberg Chardonnay offers notes of apricot, coconut and orange peel followed by marzipan, sponge cake, rounded off with carefully judged oak and fresh acidity. Aging potential: 8 years from vintage under ideal cellaring conditions Alcohol: 13.5% ABV
