Winemaker Notes
Deep purple color. Massively" rich aromas with an array of ripe cherry and"blackberry, exotically spiced. The palate is packed with these flavors –deeply concentrated. Almost explosively mouth filling, with a fine tannin finish. Chosen as one of
Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines four years in a row.

Nestled on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain in the Stellenbosch wine region lies this beautiful estate of 55 hectares. Known for consistently producing wines of high quality, Rust en Vrede is now considered to be one of the finest estates in South Africa when it comes to the making of truly great red wines. Established in 1694, it is one of the oldest estates in the Stellenbosch area and displays exquisite examples of Cape Dutch architecture.
In 1991, President Nelson Mandela awarded the Merit award of export achievement to the estate. During this period, they tirelessly worked on building the Rust en Vrede brand into a world quality product. These efforts were rewarded in 1993 when President Mandela selected Rust en Vrede to be served at the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize banquet.
