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
‘From granitic soils, this single vineyard Syrah displays its hallmark intensity of colour, aromatics and flavours handsomely. Concentrated aromatics of blackberries, blueberries and plums flourish alongside flavours of star anise, black pepper and cloves. Sweet tobacco and vanilla pod oak are lavished on both the nose and the palate and nicely compliments the opulent fruit. This is a seductive wine from the 2016 vintage, which with its abundance of fruit and inherent structure, will allow it to age a decade or longer without difficulty.’ Jolette Steyn (Wine Cellar)
Food Pairing
Lamb rump with black garlic, crème fraîche, aubergines and capers.
