Guardian Peak
Guardian Peak wines were conceived in 1998 by Jean Engelbrecht who combined his knowledge and understanding of international wine markets with his experience and involvement at his family wine estate Rust en Vrede in Stellenbosch. The objective was to create a range of wines that should be accessible to the consumer in both style and price. Grapes for Guardian Peak are sourced from the Breedekloof and Stellenbosch appellations where we enjoy long-term contracts with respected growers. More importantly we view our contracts as relationships whereby both parties benet mutually. Two decades later and our beliefs remain to produce approachable sustainable wines of consistent quality allowing our consumer to experience value and enjoy them as often as we do.
Description

The nose reveals aromas of mulberry, ripe plums, and toasted notes, while the palate offers a rich profile with cherries, plums, and hints of sage and liquorice. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, making it approachable and balanced.
Food Pairing
Guardian Peak Merlot 2022 pairs well with hearty dishes such as pizza, bolognese, and stews. Its juicy fruit and soft tannins complement rich, savory foods.
