🍷 International Malbec Day – A Fan Favourite

🍷 International Malbec Day – A Fan Favourite at Rustenberg

Here’s Cayli sharing a little more about what makes this wine special.

We craft our single-variety Malbec from fruit grown right here in the Stellenbosch area, made in a slightly lighter, more elegant style that makes it an easy all-rounder and a much-loved daily drinker - juicy, vibrant, and full of character.

Don’t mind the sounds from the cellar in the background… that’s just some post-harvest magic happening 😉

Cheers from all of us from Rustenberg!

🐣 Pest Patrol, Rustenberg Style! 🦆

A beautiful sight on the farm—our hardworking (and very cute) pest and snail control team out and about at the Petit Verdot block, now that harvest is done. We wait until the grapes are picked before letting them in—otherwise, they’d happily eat the whole crop!

These ducks have been doing an incredible job, and we’re so grateful for them. Huge thanks to Adam, who takes such amazing care of them, and to our Viticulturist Tess, who’s led this project with passion and vision.

Fun fact: We keep two geese with the flock to help protect the ducks—and it works beautifully.

Also, just look at that rich, red iron-rich soil beneath their feet—what a special piece of land. Soaking up the last of the sunny days before the seasons shift.

Have a lovely weekend, from all of us (ducks included)!

🍇 Cheers to the Final Day of Harvest! 🍷

Today marks the last day of harvest here at Rustenberg, and what an incredible journey it’s been! From the first grapes to the last, our dedicated team has poured their heart and soul into every moment, working tirelessly to bring in this year’s vintage.

We couldn’t have done it without the passion, hard work, and commitment of our amazing crew. Your efforts in the vineyards and cellar have been nothing short of inspiring, and we are beyond grateful.

As we wrap up this season, we look forward to transforming these beautiful grapes into wines that truly reflect the spirit of our land and the hands that tended it.

Thank you to everyone who made this harvest possible! Here’s to the future wines and the memories made. 🍷🌿

🍇 Harvesting the Past, Crafting the Future 🍷

🍇 Harvesting the Past, Crafting the Future 🍷

Rustenberg is more than just a winery—it’s a family legacy. Passed down through generations of the Barlow family, this land holds the stories of those who came before, their dedication shaping every vine, every harvest, and every bottle.

Winemaking isn’t just about the present—it’s about the future. As we bring in this year’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the next generation stands alongside us—Murray, owner and cellar master, with his son by his side at the sorting table, taking in the vintage together. A moment that symbolizes the passing down of knowledge, passion, and responsibility for farming the land for years to come.

The vineyard teaches us that time is our greatest ally. Each harvest, each vintage, each lesson is a seed planted for those who will follow. 🍷🌿

Here’s to the next generation of winemakers, stewards of the land, and keepers of tradition. The story continues.
