Textured, balanced, and beautifully composed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted on one of South Africa’s oldest and most esteemed wine estates, the Rustenberg Chardonnay is a benchmark expression of Stellenbosch’s cool-climate elegance. With winemaking roots dating back to 1682, Rustenberg combines centuries of tradition with modern precision, consistently producing wines of character and finesse from its high-altitude vineyards on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vintage is made from 100% estate-grown Chardonnay, fermented with wild yeasts in French oak barrels and matured on lees for added texture and complexity. The result is a beautifully balanced wine, with vibrant notes of apricot, orange zest, and citrus, enriched by hints of marzipan, toasted coconut, and gentle oak spice. Full malolactic fermentation and careful oak aging bring richness and roundness, while preserving the wine’s fresh acidity and mineral backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant and expressive, this is a classic barrel-fermented Chardonnay that captures the unique terroir of Stellenbosch and the legacy of one of the Cape’s great estates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Crushed Grape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57376307642703,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/2550\/0239\/files\/Rustenberg_Chardonnay.jpg?v=1787759802","url":"https:\/\/crushedgrape.co.uk\/products\/rustenberg-chardonnay-2022","provider":"The Crushed Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
