Product Notes

Stellenrust Simplicity Merlot Shiraz Cabernet is a captivating red wine that expertly blends three classic grape varieties to create an aromatic and expressive full-bodied wine. This blend is crafted from carefully selected grapes from the prestigious Stellenbosch region in South Africa. The wine displays a dark ruby color and aromas of luscious red and black fruit with hints of white pepper. On the palate, rich notes of plum, black cherry and oak are complemented by a silky tannin structure and a long, smooth finish. This wine is perfect for any occasion, whether enjoyed alone, with friends, or paired with hearty meat dishes.

Tasting Notes

The nose shows spicy moccha flavours and some vanilla notes derived from American oak. The palate is rich, filled with ripe fruit, pepper and hints of violets, cassis, dark chocolate and toasty oak.

About the Winery

Stellenrust

Established in 1928, Stellenrust has never looked back in the business of winemaking. Since its inception, the company has produced the finest wines in the entire Stellenbosch region of South Africa. Stellenrust is also blessed to be located in an area most suitable for winemaking. The estate sits between Stellenbosch’s Golden Triangle Area, renowned internationally for having some of South Africa’s best soils for red wine, and the Bottelary Hills, famous for the late afternoon cool breeze coming from Cape Town and the cool climate suitable to nurture red and white wines. 

Stellenrust is one of the largest family-owned wine estates in South Africa, with generations of experience and the motto of “where excellence meets winemaking” reflect in every Stellenrust bottle. Stellenrust even provided the opportunity to the public to make their signature wine with the facilities at Stellenrust, starting from 2003. 

Stellenrust is the proud owner of several luxury ranges of wines, including the Kleine Rust Cellar Collection, Super Premium Range, Premium Range and Ultra Premium Range. Wines proudly produced by Stellenrust includes: 

Stellenrust Cabernet Franc 2016: With the smell of tobacco, cherries and ripe blue cherries, the Cabernet Franc 2016 brings a palette of herbs, sweet and sour berries, cedar tobacco spice with refreshing acidity. It is best enjoyed with the company though it goes well with lamb and beef.

Stellenrust Timeless 2017: The wine comes with a fresh menthol aroma and a palette enhanced by mint chocolate, cassis and dark berries. Well-balanced tannins concentrated in the middle of the palette adds to the finish of the wine.
