Named after the 5 large stone pine trees on a hill standing sentinel over the 5 Soldiers vineyards that produce the apex of Chardonnay quality at Rustenberg & this collectable 2019 is taut, fresh & steely with layers of oatmeal, wet stones & pithy yellow citrus. Beautiful. 95GSMW
Happy #WorldMalbecDay!
Stellenbosch has embraced Malbec like a long-lost friend, adding to the region's great Bordeaux reds.
Rustenberg's Malbec stands out for its expressive, approachable character with fine tannins & a generous mid-palate. 🍇
Tonight's red with roast beef was this gorgeous @RustenbergWines 2015 'Peter Barlow' cabernet. Before you ask..no, nothing to do with Coronation Street. Cassis, herbs, lovely chalky finish. Drink now to 2035. Top drop! 👍

Finally getting this 135 day dry aged rib of short horn beef from @higginsbutchers on the bbq. Served with roasties, shrooms, greens, carrots and bone marrow gravy,plus loaf as of good whiskey and red wine…
The SA Wine Industry as a producer is a really tough business. @Consol increased bottle prices twice in a year, in excess of 32%. How are we supposed to absorb this?
