Rustenberg Peter Barlow 2022
Named after Peter Barlow, who reunited Rustenberg in 1941 and invested in its potential to produce world-class wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon combines power, elegance, and classic Stellenbosch structure. Vineyard & Terroir Grapes benefit from the cool, wet winter and warm ripening summer of Stellenbosch, with careful canopy management ensuring optimal ripening and balanced acidity. Winemaking Hand-picked grapes are crushed and de-stemmed. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs and an extended maceration of up to two weeks. Post-fermentation, the wine is matured for 20 months in oak barriques (61% new French oak, 39% second- and third-fill). Tasting Notes Rich aromas of red and black fruits, cedar, and clove. The palate displays lively acidity, velvety tannins, and excellent oak integration, culminating in a long, harmonious finish. Grape Variety Cabernet Sauvignon Food Pairing Grilled or roasted red meats, game, and hard cheeses.

TerraNoble Lahuen Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018
A rich and expressive red wine crafted from the Maipo Alto and Los Lingues areas of the Colchagua Valley. This blend, composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon along with Syrah, Carmenère, Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Malbec, strikes a perfect balance between intensity and elegance. The bouquet bursts with ripe red and black fruits, mirrored on the palate, where the wine shows exceptional concentration and depth of flavour. Fine, rounded tannins, enhanced by oak aging, add structure and a velvety finish. As the flagship wine of TerraNoble, it exemplifies the winery’s commitment to excellence. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation and aging in a combination of large oak foudres and small oak barriques for up to 18 months, depending on the grape variety. The final blend was then refined with an additional 12 months of bottle aging.
