Product information "Rustenberg RM Nicholson Red 2016"
The Rustenberg RM Nicholson Red is a well-structured and incredibly aromatic cuvée in the classic Bordeaux style. The nose sniffs a seductive bouquet of blackcurrant, dried herbs, black pepper and exciting spices. On the palate a serious and serious structure opens up, which ends in a soft and gentle finish and gives a perfect pleasure.

The grape material was completely destemmed, crushed and vinified in stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wines matured separately for 16 months in French and American oak barrels, 20% of which were new wood and 80% second, third, fourth and fifth. After aging, the wines were blended and bottled for ready consumption.
