Rust en Vrede Estate Syrah

18 months in 100% 500L French Oak barrels, using a combination of 16% new and 84% seasoned oak.

Chosen in 2016 as one of Wine Spectator’s top 100 wines in the world.

Expressive nose of creamy cherry puree, and blackberries with a floral perfume of violet, and notes of spicy ginger and cloves. Fine, elegant tannins with an undertone of savoury grip are balanced by fresh acidity. Concentrated black fruit on the palate, with bramble, blackberry, mulberry and a hint of black pepper. A finely balanced, elegant Syrah.
