While Rust en Vrede has been part of the Stellenbosch landscape for over 300 years, distinguished vintner Jean Engelbrecht truly brought the winery into the limelight. Since the 1990s Engelbrecht has been working tirelessly to establish South African wine as a premium product on the international market. Nothing reflects his determination better than the stunning range of wines made by Rust en Vrede winery.
Rust en Vrede is located in the Helderberg appellation, a mountainous, maritime-influenced terroir that stretches all the way to False Bay. Ever since the Engelbrechts purchased the property, there has been an emphasis placed on big, bold red wine. The vineyards are primarily planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, in the same proportions as this flagship red blend.
A distinctive bouquet of blackcurrant, cherry jam and subtle spice emerges on the nose of this deep crimson wine. The palate follows suit, with juicy flavours of blueberry and blackberry, underpinned by earthy notes of forest floor, cocoa and toffee. It has a well-rounded structure, fine, sprightly tannins, and a wonderfully soft mouthfeel. Further notes of leather and herbs can be found on the lingering finish. Pair this estate red blend with a tender rack of lamb, or a rich vegetable dish such as ratatouille.

Rust en Vrede Estate Red 2020
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
