Estate 2021
Description
Nestled at the foothills of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch, Rust en Vrede is one of South Africa’s most historic and revered wine estates. Founded in the late 17th century, the estate has built its international reputation on uncompromising quality and a singular focus on red wines of depth and character.
The Estate 2021 is a true expression of this legacy. Crafted from meticulously selected vineyards and matured with patience, this wine captures both the classical elegance and modern precision that define Rust en Vrede. Picture an intimate dinner, candlelight reflecting off the glass, as this wine slowly unfolds — a moment of quiet luxury, heritage, and refined pleasure.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby in colour, the wine opens with layered aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum and blueberry, interwoven with notes of cedar wood, cocoa, dried herbs and subtle mint. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet poised, with finely grained tannins, vibrant freshness and remarkable balance. The finish is long, structured and savoury, hinting at excellent ageing potential over the next decade and beyond.
Food pairing recommendations
This wine pairs beautifully with prime rib of beef, grilled lamb loin, venison or slow-braised short ribs. For a refined pairing, try it alongside beef fillet with mushroom jus or aged hard cheeses such as Comté or mature Cheddar. A perfect companion for elegant dinners and special occasions.
