Merlot

Buckets of plummy flavour are backed by an alluring vanilla stroke, thanks to a touch of oak influences.

A middleweight claret with a good balance of ripe plum and berry flavours, with plenty of concentration. Tannins are fine-grained and provide a smooth yet ample feel.

Intense blackberry, blackcurrant, undertones of mint, spice and cigar box on the nose. On the palate are plenty of blackcurrant and cassis, fresh mint, subtle oak and soft tannins. Great with venison.

A deliciously smooth, round and generous wine that delivers immediate gratification." Robert Parker. Beautiful garnet-red robe with aromas of cassis fruits coupled with subtle vanilla tones.

Rustic aromas of raspberries, mullberries and cooking spices permeate from an intensely ruby coloured wine. A firm, tannic palate of spice and dark fruits leads to a layered, dry finish.

This wine is a classic blend of Bordeaux varieties with classic flavours of cassis and dark cherry.

Intense aromas of red fruits, accompanied by floral, vanilla and tobacco notes. Has a great feeling of volume in the mouth, with plentiful but super-soft tannins.

This wine was named in honour of one of the estate's former owners, Reg Merriman Nicholson, who lived and worked as winemaker at Rustenberg for 30 years.

This classic Bordeaux possesses all the typical characteristics of the region - dark blackcurrant fruit flavours, fine tannins and notes of vanilla and cedar.

A versatile, supple and youthful middleweight red, with a ruby-purple colour and a nose of cassis, blackberry jam and grenadine. Tannins are ripe and soft, framing a juicy core of fresh berry fruit.

An inviting, approachable wine made from nearly 90% Merlot, with a lush sweet-fruited centre of bramble, cherry and plum. Subtle hints of sweet pudding spice lift the nose.

It’s a polished red, brimming with hints of jammy black fruits, tobacco, mocha and a decadent lick of vanilla. It also boasts silky tannins and a seemingly endless finish.
