Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

Whether shared over a fire-lit dinner or alongside a slow-roasted leg of lamb, this is a wine that belongs to winter. Rust en Vrede Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 brings warmth and depth to cold evenings – a reminder that the finest pleasures are often the simplest: good food, good company, and a glass of something remarkable.

Grown on the estate’s north-facing vineyards in Stellenbosch’s Helderberg area, the grapes benefit from a Mediterranean climate with moderate vine stress. The soil composition, a mix of Tukulu soil with granite and sandstone, offers good drainage and moderate water retention, contributing to intense flavor development​.

Crafted with care, destined for winter’s heart. Structured and poised for cellaring, allowing time to add further depth to its character.
