Winemaker Notes
Specializing in the production of red wine only, Rust en Vrede has established itself as one of South Africa's premium red wine estates. Full-bodied and complex, Rust en Vrede's wines reflect the uniqueness of the Stellenbosch terroir. Rust en Vrede is proud to be part of this and continues to pursue the excellence that has characterized wines from Stellenbosch and specifically our private estates, which undoubtedly are the heartbeat of this significent region.
This Shiraz has a deep mulberry red color. Flavors of dark plum, cherry, leather, smoked bacon are infused with subtle oak. The palate holds incredible fusion of pepper, spice, cherry with floral and eucalyptus notes. Long, clean, with an elegant finish.

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.
