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 normal cold wet Winter in 2006 even bud-burst was achieved in Spring followed by a great berry set and a large crop on most vines. January, however, presented a number of heatwaves and sped ripening up rapidly only to be tempered by rains in February and March. This was a harvest of two halves – warm conditions for the whites and cooler conditions for the reds. Experience and patience helped us create great quality wines under these tough conditions.
