Overview
Our Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is our longest standing tradition here at Rust en Vrede.
Aging
Barrel maturation in 100% French oak barrels (20% new, 20% 2nd fill, 20% 3rd fill, 40% 4th fill), in 300 barrels for 18 months.
Fermentation
Harvested grapes are destemmed, crushed and pumped into open-top fermentation tanks where they undergo a 21-day maceration period involving a 7-day fermentation with pump-overs and manual punch-downs 2-4 times daily.
Tasting Notes
Style
Bold, Intense
Flavor
Black Currant, Cherry, Plum
Aroma
A subtle perfume of sandalwood is followed by pronounced aromas of black currant, cherry and graphite.
Taste
Bold and robust on the palate with fresh acidity balancing out fine grained and grippy tannins. Intense flavours of black currant combine with sour cherry, spicy plum, and espresso. A structured wine with a long savoury finish that speaks of good aging potential.
