Description
The Rust en Vrede Estate blend is the emblematic wine of Rust en Vrede and has been selected four times by Wine Spectator as one of the top 100 wines in the World. This wine is uniquely produced and blended in proportion to the vineyard’s plantings (22 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 hectares of Syrah and 1 hectare of Merlot) making it the most honest reflection of their terroir and shows the Rust en Vrede signature style.
Distinctive crème de cassis, ripe black cherries, sandalwood, cinnamon and a hint of red cherry combine to provide a layered and complex nose. Focussed and harmonious on the palate, with fine grained, coating tannins, a fresh, sour cherry acidity, and flavours of cassis, leather and dried Italian herbs. Concentrated blackcurrant and chocolate on the long finish. 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Syrah, 10% Merlot.
Aging Potential: 10 to 15 years.
Serving temperature: 14 to 16° Celsius
