Winemaker Notes
Deep crimson red. Aromas of sour cherry, black forest and Christmas cake along with notes of perfumed jasmine. A savory palate of sweet spices, dark fruits and paprika. The long finish is well-structured.

Jeb Dunnuck
A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Syrah, and 9% Merlot brought up 18 months in French oak, the 2015 Estate reveals a deep purple color as well as notes of red and black currants, tobacco leaf, candied citrus, and Asian spices. This rich, ripe, sexy wine is full-bodied, with loads of fruits, ripe, sweet tannins, plenty of mid-palate oomph, and a great finish.

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.
