Estate Vineyard

Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

The Rust En Vrede Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Stellenbosch is a captivating red wine that embodies the essence of its celebrated region. With a full-bodied profile, it showcases a rich and intense character that beautifully balances deep, ripe fruit flavors with superb structure. The wine exhibits a high level of acidity, lending it a lively freshness that invigorates the palate. Tannins are prominent, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's concentrated layers of dark fruit, such as blackcurrant and plum. This Cabernet Sauvignon is decidedly dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes. The Rust En Vrede Estate Vineyard is not only a testament to the mastery of winemaking in Stellenbosch but also a delightful experience for any wine enthusiast.

Coastal Region
Coastal Region

Covering most of the Western Cape, the Coastal Region is the beating heart of South Africa's wine industry. Cooled by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and sheltered by mountains to the south and east, the region enjoys perfect conditions for grapevines to thrive. This is where you will find the world-famous sub-regions of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl. Wines labeled as Coastal Region are likely to be made from grapes sourced from a few different sub-zones, taking advantage of a wide range of mesoclimates and soil types. Look out for South Africa's flagship grapes: rounded Chenin Blanc, bold, figgy Pinotage and international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Shiraz too.
