Syrah 2021
€28,08
Description
Founded in 1694, Rust en Vrede is one of Stellenbosch’s most historic estates, specializing in full-bodied red wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Helderberg region.
The 2021 Syrah is crafted from estate-grown grapes, which are hand-harvested and partially destemmed, with 15% left as whole bunches. Fermentation occurs in open-top fermenters, with manual punchdowns and pump-overs 2 to 4 times daily, followed by maceration for 14 to 21 days.
The wine is then matured for 18 months in 500L French oak barrels, using a mix of 16% new oak and 84% seasoned oak, ensuring a harmonious integration of fruit and structure.
Tasting Notes
- Aromas: Creamy cherry purée, blackberries, violets, ginger, and cloves.
- Palate: Concentrated black fruits (bramble, blackberry, mulberry) with a hint of black pepper.
- Texture: Fine, elegant tannins, balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a long, lingering fruity finish.
Food Pairing Recommendations
This bold yet refined Syrah pairs beautifully with:
- Red Meats: Grilled ribeye steak or roast lamb with rosemary.
- Game: Venison stew or roasted duck with berry sauce.
- Aged Cheeses: Sharp cheddar or aged gouda.
