Recognised globally as one of South Africas top five wine estates, Rustenberg is also one of the oldest in the Cape. In 1941 the Rustenberg Farm, which sits 6km north of Stellenbosch, was bought by Peter Barlow. Vineyards producing the grapes for Rustenberg wines climb the rich red slopes of the Simonsberg and Helderberg; a range of slopes and aspects allows site-specific plantings that enhance varietal characteristics. With a long and very proud history of producing exceptional wines, Rustenbergs winemaking style is simple: produce quality wines true to the style of the estate and the brand. The name Buzzard Kloof comes from the buzzards that can be seen circling the thermal currents above the kloof (ravine) within which the vineyard is situated. The wine exhibits an enticing nose of pepper, violets and ripe berry fruits which follow through to a well-structured and lengthy palate with fine-grained tannins.
