Rust En Vrede Wine Estate

South Africa

Since 1694, Rust en Vrede has stood peacefully among the vineyards of Stellenbosch. At various times over the centuries, wine was produced, but the modern era of winemaking started with the Engelbrecht family in the 1970s.

The Engelbrecht family has shaped Rust en Vrede Wine Estate with a distinct vision for the future – to create a legacy of quality red wine, with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Our wines have excelled to become the best expression of Rust en Vrede’s terroir.

Shielded from the mighty South-Easterly wind by the Helderberg and Stellenbosch mountains and protected from the South-Westerly wind off the Atlantic by the foothills of the Helderberg, Rust en Vrede is a warmer microcosm in the Helderberg area, which is why we specialize in reds, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. These varieties lend themselves to full-bodied wines with powerful structure and excellent aging potential.

Rust en Vrede’s Estate blend is made up of the exact proportions of varieties planted on the property: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah and 10% Merlot. Over the past 40 years, the Estate blend has become the most honest reflection of our terroir and one of South Africa’s most internationally accoladed wines.
