Grenache Blanc was first planted on Rustenberg in the early 2000s and the estate has the only plantings of the varietal on the Stellenbosch facing side of the Simonsberg mountain. Naturally late ripening and high yielding, the estate’s small block of Grenache blanc has been planted high on the mountain slopes to expose the fruit to cooler temperatures, ensuring the preservation of acidity in the fruit. The North facing aspect of the vineyard, also ensures the vines are exposed to plenty of sunlight to ripen this cultivar to its full potential. The result is a medium-bodied wine with plenty of fruit and texture, rounded off with fresh acidity.
