Rust en Vrede Estate Vineyards

Blackcurrants, black olives, dried herbs and crushed stones on the nose of this balanced red. It’s full-bodied with good freshness and fine, chalky tannins. Drink now or hold.

A bright cherry top note is front and center on the nose of this wine, with additional scents of raspberry preserves, pressed violet and vanilla bean. The palate is like crushed satin in texture, with ample tannins to frame the ripe fruit but also good grip and structure to support it all and lend length to the finish. Additional flourishes of cocoa and toasted, whole baking spices add depth to the close. Drink now–2029.
