Rust En Vrede Estate 2021

R750.00

Region: Stellenbosch

Tasting note:

“Distinctive crème de cassis, ripe black cherries, sandalwood, cinnamon and a hint of red cherry combine to provide a layered and complex nose. Focussed and harmonious on the palate, with fine grained, coating tannins, a fresh, sour cherry acidity, and flavours of cassis, leather and dried Italian herbs. Concentrated blackcurrant and chocolate on the long finish.” – WInemaker

For 321 years Rust en Vrede has stood amongst the finest vineyards of Stellenbosch. Jannie Engelbrecht, Springbok rugby legend, restored the estate in the early 1970s. The stately Cape Dutch buildings on the estate are national monuments, dating back to 1780. Jean Engelbrecht, Jannie’s son, 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 on 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 in reds, particularly Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Blend: 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Syrah & 10% Merlot
