Deep crimson with well-defined red and black cherry prominent on the nose. Dark chocolate, cedar and pencil shavings bring complexity and typicity to this Helderberg Cabernet. The palate is structured with fresh acidity and bold tannins that will balance each other well over time. Cherry notes carry through on the palate, growing in intensity and complexity with layered cassis, blackberry, liquorice and a pinch of black pepper.

Product Notes

Rust en Vrede Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine blend that is meticulously crafted using only the finest grapes from vineyards in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. The wine has a deep ruby color and an intense aroma of blackcurrant, black cherry, and dark chocolate. It is rich and full-bodied, with soft tannins and a long finish that lingers on the palate. This wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, which imparts a subtle vanilla flavor and adds complexity to the overall taste. It is a great pairing for red meat dishes, hearty stews, and aged cheese. Rust en Vrede Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a truly exceptional wine that delivers everything you could possibly want from a premium wine.

About the Winery

The origin of Rust en Vrede dates back to March 12th 1694. This is the date mentioned in the official Title Deed of the estate. In 1977, Jannie and Ellen, parents of the current proprietor, Jean Engelbrecht, purchased this estate in 1977, and started work on it right away. In the subsequent year, Jannie created the first vintage from this estate. A few years later, rigorous re-planting of vines took place here, and the team focussed on planting Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon varietals.
