Merchant's description

Rustenberg's 2024 Chardonnay comes from one of Stellenbosch's most historic estates, where Burgundian restraint meets South African sunshine. This isn't the oaked blockbuster you might expect from the Cape, but rather a wine that puts fruit and freshness first. We taste bright citrus and green apple backed by just enough oak to add texture without overwhelming. The acidity keeps everything lively, while subtle mineral notes speak to the estate's unique terroir on the slopes of the Simonsberg.
