Description
The Rustenberg Five Soldiers vineyard is named after five tall stone pine trees called the “Five Soldiers” that tower over this site. Carefully selected Chardonnay bunches from this area are hand harvested for this special wine and then given royal treatment in the cellar. The final product is a very complex full-bodied wine, approachable in its youth however careful cellaring will exhibit the depth of the wine’s complexity and will reward patience.
The 2023 vintage shows characters of ripe citrus, melon and peach with great minerality, rounded out by well-judged oaking. A very complex wine with along and creamy finish and a good acid backbone
Ageing potential: 10+ years under ideal cellaring conditions
Alcohol: 13%
