Product Notes

Rust en Vrede Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is an exceptionally well-crafted wine, hailing from South Africa's esteemed Stellenbosch region. This robust wine boasts a tantalising deep ruby hue, hinting at its bold character. Profound flavours of juicy blackcurrants, cherries and plum intermingle with delicate notes of earthy spice, cedar and herbs, creating an intense yet balanced palate. This full-bodied wine showcases firm tannins and considerable structure, ageing splendidly in French oak barrels for 24 months. It offers a lingering finish that commands your attention. It’s a wine of undeniable sophistication, ideally paired with hearty red meat dishes.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with well-defined red and black cherry prominent on the nose. Dark chocolate, cedar and pencil shavings bring complexity and typicity to this Helderberg Cabernet. The palate is structured with fresh acidity and bold tannins that will balance each other well over time. Cherry notes carry through on the palate, growing in intensity and complexity with layered cassis, blackberry, liquorice and a pinch of black pepper.
