Rust en Vrede Estate Blend 2021 - The Quintessence of Our Terroir

Crafted in the precise proportions planted on the estate, the Estate Blend is the purest and most authentic expression of Rust en Vrede’s vineyards. Recognised four times by Wine Spectator as one of the Top 100 Wines in the World, it stands as the emblem of our philosophy and craftsmanship.

Sourced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot grown on our historic 22-hectare vineyard, the wine matures for 18 months in 100% French oak, gaining depth, finesse, and balance.

The palate and aroma unfold with quiet power: crème de cassis, ripe black cherries, sandalwood, cinnamon, and a touch of red cherry. Silky, fine-grained tannins and a fresh, bright acidity carry flavours of cassis, leather, and dried Italian herbs, culminating in a lingering finish of blackcurrant and dark chocolate.

A wine of precision and poise - the timeless flagship of Rust en Vrede.
