About this Item

Single Vineyard Syrah, 2010
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Situated on the scenic slopes of the Helderberg mountain, Rust en Vrede is one of Stellenbosch’s oldest estates, dating back to 1694 and is today owned by Jean Engelbrecht. The fine Helderberg terroir produces concentrated and highly celebrated reds.

Critics Ratings

‘Rich and sexy 2010 ramps up a notch on previous 2009 (4 stars). Ultra-ripe (alcohol 15.2%) but gracious and silky, with a light spice sheen over muscular prune and chocolate fruit. Concentrated and poised, oak is well absorbed.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*

‘This is South Africa’s answer to Marcel Guigal’s top Rhône bottlings. Super rich, super concentrated and plush, it’s dense and deeply coloured, marked by lashings of oak and figgy, jammy fruit, yet also rather appealing.’ - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2013, 94/100

‘Very concentrated, pure and sleek, with a racy iron note underscoring the cassis, plum and bitter cherry hints. Features a long, violet- and savory-accented finish. Should unfurl further with cellaring.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Jun 2013)
