Rust En Vrede
Established in 1694 Rust en Vrede is proud to be part of a remarkable three hundred year old wine tradition. Since 1977 the Engelbrecht family has specialized in the exclusive production of red wine with the focus on Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Proprietor Jean Engelbrecht has worked to establish Rust en Vrede as one of South Africa’s premium red wine estates with full-bodied and complex wines that reflect the uniqueness of the Helderberg terroir.
Description
Dark, rich fruit and intense floral perfume jump out of the glass. Complex aromas of violets and white blossoms combine with concentrated blueberry, vanilla and dark chocolate. The wine has a bold, full palate as rich as the nose promises - intense blackberry and blueberry layered with dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and toast. Partial whole-bunch fermentation adds a savoury spiciness, and lively acidity balances the robust tannins, giving power and structure of the wine. Bold blueberry and toast flavours on the finish promise a good aging potential in this wine.
Food Pairing
Goes well with a simply cooked rack of lamb with green beans.
