Rustenberg Sauvignon Blanc2021/22, Stellenbosch

Murray Barlow’s wines are some of Stellenbosch’s finest. He’s rightfully won not just a cult following, but heaps of critical praise. In fact, he is the only winemaker to win Young Winemaker of the Year twice at South Africa’s biggest wine-awards event, Diners Club. He’s excelled yet again with this Stellenbosch Sauvignon. The 2022 vintage was awarded 92 points by James Suckling and won a Gold Medal at Concours Mondial du Sauvignon awards. It’s fresh and crisp, with notes of melon, gooseberry, pineapple and passionfruit. Try it with Thai food.
