$153.00 price per bottle
The Estate blend is the emblematic wine of Rust en Vrede. The blend is made up of the proportions of varieties planted on Rust en Vrede, making it the most honest reflection of our terroir. Named to reflect the planting on the property, the grapes for this wine come from 22 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon, 7 hectares of Syrah and 1 hectare of Merlot.
Rich cassis and mulberry with cedar and tobacco reveal Cabernet as the backbone to the blend, after which fresh red and black cherry with black pepper spice show the Syrah component. Intense fruit flavours are layered with mocha, Christmas cake, sandalwood and leather, bringing complexity to the wine. Fresh, fruity acidity balances the firm, coating tannins, culminating in a clean, dry finish that indicates good ageing potential. 93 Points - Wine Enthusiast Notes of blackcurrant leaf, cassis, black plum skin, mentholated cherry, and licorice root lead, while more layers of complex fruit and spice unfold with each sniff and sip. The palate is plush and filling, but not overly so, with spicy, gripping tannins that frame the palate and linger long on the finish. It's well balanced and harmonious, and will mature well through 2030.
