Description

Rustenberg’s single vineyard Peter Barlow Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship red of their impressive range.   A powerful, long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon that is given the best possible treatment in the cellar – certainly one of South Africa’s most impressive reds.  The 2017 vintage displays concentrated cassis, black cherries and some herbaceous notes on the nose and palate. We recommend decanting this wine before serving.

Ageing Potential: 10 – 15 years from vintage under ideal cellaring conditions

Tim Atkin (MW) Special South Africa Report 2020: 96 points “What a wine! I can’t remember tasting a better young Peter Barlow than this, which fully expresses the brilliance of the 2017 vintage. Serious, focused, compact and built to last, it has very fine 65% new wood, classic blackcurrant and cedarwood notes, graceful tannins and a long, nuanced, refreshing finish. 2023-32”
