About this Item

Shiraz, 2001
6 (1 x 6) 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

‘On the funky side, with dried berry, tar, game and grilled herb notes that run through the finish. Gains flesh and fruit with air, but still for fans of the style.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (May 2005)

‘Good ruby-red. Enticing aromas of raspberry, violet, leather, chocolate and meat. Sweet and supple fruit but firm, with berry, flint, and mineral flavours along with a distinctly funky leathery quality.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (Mar 2005)
