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: Following a dry Winter in 2004 the entire growing season of 2005 was warm and dry. The result was a very early harvest and rigorous bunch selection due to poor berry set and uneven ripeness. The wines produced from this harvest tend to be big and bold in style and are packed with fruit. The whites tend to be best consumed young, while the reds are very concentrated and will reward aging, with plenty of ripe fruit to appreciate as the wines age.
