The Estate blend is the emblematic wine of Rust en Vrede. The blend is made up of the proportions of varieties planted on Rust en Vrede, making it the most honest reflection of our terroir.
Critics Ratings
‘Pioneer Cabernet-Shiraz flagship blend with near-legendary status. 2014 (62/31) has splash of Merlot, dense, plush black berry fruit and massive appeal. Poised and supple with velvet-gloved fist, elegant spiciness and lingering finish. Various larger bottle formats available.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (92 points)
‘Even in the cooler, wetter conditions of 2014, Coenie Snyman has produced a broad, plush, lavishly oaked cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah and a little Merlot. Smoky, textured and showing layers of Asian spices, dark berry fruit and dried herbs, this is typical of the Rust en Vrede style. 2019-23.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 93/100
