Wine of Origin ifølge arket: Simonsberg, Stellenbosch. Enkeltmark ifølge arket: Peter Barlow. Producentens noter (engelsk): Introduction: The name of this wine pays tribute to the man who recognized the potential of Rustenberg, and bought the farm in 1941, reuniting the property, restoring its buildings and investing in its potential to make world class wines. The oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard on the estate is named the Peter Barlow block and consistently produces powerful, long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon that is given the best possible treatment in the cellar. Peter's family now continues his legacy. We recommend decanting this wine before serving. Vintage: The 2003 vintage was one of the standout vintages of the decade from both a quantity and quality point of view. Following a normal Winter and cool Spring with little rainfall, the vintage was generally temperate and dry with late rains and cooler conditions at the end of vintage, relieving the water starved vines. Small berries, great natural acidity and fruit concentration on top of a large crop make the 2003 wines exceptional.
