Information about "Rustenberg Stellenbosch Malbec 2023"
The Rustenberg Stellenbosch Malbec presents an enchanting spectacle with its attractive violet hues, exuding seductive aromas of dark fruits. Notes of ripe plums, blackberries, and violets caress the senses, intermingled with delicate hints of pepper and tobacco.
As it matures, the wine’s profile shifts towards a spicier fruit essence. It boasts a remarkable aging potential of eight to ten years provided optimal storage conditions.
The crushed, destemmed grapes undergo fermentation in stainless steel, being pumped over during the process. Extended maceration (0 to 7 days) and subsequent aging in 100% oak for 15 months - (10% new, 90% 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fill 225L) in French oak barrels.
