The Rustenberg Stellenbosch John X Merriman is a powerful wine with deliciously seductive nuances of cassis, a blend of dark fruit and fragrant hints of cigar tobacco and sour cherry. With further storage of the wine, the fine-grained tannins will soften and a hearty palate of uncommon accessibility will emerge. A classically stylish drop for all collectors of great wines!

Treatment in the cellar

The individual grape varieties were fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and then matured for 20 months in French oak barrels, 35% of which were new wood and 65% second and third wood.
