Rust En Vrede Estate 2019 (1.5L) Magnum

R1,643.00

Region: Stellenbosch

Tasting note:

Distinctive aromas of crème de cassis, Black Forest gateaux and sandalwood give way to subtle vanilla and nutmeg spice. Chalky, fine grained tannins reveal the structure of the blend and provide a rounded mouth feel. Flavours of black cherry and toast are balanced by well-integrated acidity. Restrained on the palate, showing some potential for aging, with a soft, savoury finish.

For 321 years Rust en Vrede has stood amongst the finest vineyards of Stellenbosch. The estate has been in the Engelbrecht family since the early 1970s. The stately Cape Dutch buildings on the estate are national monuments, dating back to 1780. Jean Engelbrecht is the current custodian and still lives in the Manor house where he grew up. The estate lies south of Stellenbosch, approximately 15km from False Bay. The property is nestled on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain between 85m and 130m above sea level, with a view of Table Mountain to the West. Vineyards are situated on North facing slopes, with a small portion of North-East and North-West facing slopes that provide subtle nuances in aspect. Shielded from the powerful South-Easterly wind by the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains, and protected from the South-Westerly wind off the Atlantic by the foothills of the Helderberg, Rust en Vrede is a warmer microcosm in the Helderberg area, which is why they specialise on reds, with a focus on Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot.
The Estate blend is the emblematic wine of Rust en Vrede. The blend is made up of the proportions of varieties planted on Rust en Vrede, making it the most honest reflection of their terroir.

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot.
