Rust en Vrede Estate 2022
Blend : Red
Description
Rust en Vrede is one of Stellenbosch’s oldest wine estates, established in 1694 and located on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. The vineyards sit in a slightly warmer pocket of the region, protected from strong ocean winds, which allows late-ripening varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah to develop full flavour and structure.
The estate has a singular focus on red wine production, working exclusively with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot. All grapes are grown, vinified, and bottled on the property, with the Estate blend designed as a true reflection of what is planted on the farm.
Maturation typically takes place in French oak for around 18 months, adding depth and refinement without overshadowing the fruit. The result is a wine that balances power with precision, firmly rooted in Stellenbosch tradition.
Colour:
Deep ruby with a dense core, showing concentration and youth.
Nose:
Blackberry, cassis, and mulberry lead, followed by notes of dried herbs, mocha, graphite, and subtle oak spice.
Palate:
Full-bodied with a structured, layered feel. Dark fruit carries through, supported by fine-grained tannins and balanced acidity. Hints of red cherry, tobacco, and spice add complexity, giving the wine both depth and lift.
Finish:
Long and composed, with lingering dark fruit, savoury spice, and a refined, dry grip.

Rust en Vrede Estate 2022
- Food Pairing : Rust en Vrede Estate 2022 is a natural match for rich, structured dishes. It pairs particularly well with grilled or roasted red meats such as ribeye steak or lamb, where the tannins soften against the protein and fat. Slow-cooked dishes like oxtail or beef short rib bring out the wine’s depth and savoury notes, while a classic braai with well-charred cuts echoes its subtle spice and oak influence. For a refined pairing, aged cheeses or a mushroom-based dish can highlight its earthy complexity without overwhelming its structure.
