Rust En Vrede Merlot

Rust En Vrede Merlot is ruby red, giving potpourri and dried flower aromas infused with notes of cedar wood and subtle oak. A well-integrated and juicy palate also has savoury notes and the balanced structure makes this a very accessible wine.

Shielded from south easterly winds by the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains, and from the south westerly winds by the foothills of the Helderberg, Rust En Vrede is a warmer microcosm in the Helderberg area. This is the reason why the estate can specialise in red grape varieties such as Merlot which lend themselves to full bodied wines with powerful structure.
