As the flagship red states, Rust en Vrede dates back to 1694 and is today owned by Jean Engelbrecht. The fine Helderberg terroir produces concentrated and highly celebrated reds. The 1694 is a luxurious, powerful blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon and is made in miniscule quantities.

Critics Ratings
'Uber-flagship selection, 2014 swaps Shiraz-Cabernet ratios of Estate blend, producing impossibly concentrated fruit, woven with scrub and savoury spices. Lofty and aristocratic, with leathery tannins and piercing liquorice notes. 50% new oak, as for 2013 (4.5 stars, 94 points).' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 5* (95 points)
'Juicy, with ample raspberry, black currant and boysenberry fruit melded together and carried by a mix of fresh acidity and brambly grip. The fruit courses through the vibrant finish, picking up savory, singed vanilla and dried anise notes. Best from 2018 through 2024. 385 cases made.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Aug 2017)
