Close menu

Rust en Vrede 1694 Classification presents itself in a deep and intense dark red in the glass and exudes beguilingly fragrant and predominant aromas of dried fruit, dark chocolate and elegant cassis, complemented by undertones of sweet cinnamon and intense spices. These flavours reach the palate, with a hint of crisp paprika and irresistible nuances of the oak's spicy earthiness. This highly doped and elegant wine is full of juicy dark fruit, finely integrated into the concentrated grainy tannin structure, which forms a wonderful balance and equilibrium to the refined fruit purity.

Treatment in the cellar

The primary fermentation of the grapes lasted 7 days, followed by a 21-day swelling phase. The malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The two components of the cuvée, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, were vinified separately for 18 months and matured in 100% French oak barrels. As a finished cuvée, this first-class wine matured for a further 18 months in the bottle before being released for consumption.
