'There might still be some 2017 John X on shelves, and if there is make sure you bag yourself a
case. Dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with 50% Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet
Franc, this is outrageously good value for a wine of this quality. Subtle, seamless and
polished with structure, fruit weight and leafy top notes.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 94/100

Producer information | Rustenberg, located in the Simonsberg Mountain valley, was founded in 1682. In 1941, Peter and Pamela Barlow bought Rustenberg, as well as another farm which had originally been a part of Rustenberg. They joined the two properties and have now been running Rustenberg for over 70 years. Rustenberg is a leading producer of iconic, long-ageing wines. Stellenbosch is home to some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon terroir in the world but very few sites are more special than Rustenberg’s Peter Barlow single vineyard. |
