WINE DESCRIPTION

Rust En Vrede Single Vineyard Shiraz is a premium red wine produced by Rust En Vrede, a highly regarded winery located in the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. The wine is made from Shiraz grapes grown in the estate's single vineyard, which benefits from the area's unique terroir, characterized by decomposed granite soils and a warm Mediterranean climate. The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including aging in French oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of black fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness, making it an ideal choice for pairing with grilled meats, game, and strong cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Rust En Vrede Single Vineyard Shiraz has an intense and complex nose with aromas of dark fruit, cassis, and cedar.On the palate, it is full-bodied with smooth tannins and an abundance of blackberry, cherry, and tobacco flavors. The finish is long and pleasant with a hint of spice and a touch of earthiness. This wine is an extraordinary expression of the Shiraz varietal from a single vineyard in South Africa.
