Vineyard Notes:
Rust En Vrede
The Estate is now run by Jannie’s son Jean. Specialising in the production of red wine only, Rust en Vrede has established itself as one of South Africa's premium red wine estates. Full-bodied and complex, Rust en Vrede wines reflect the uniqueness of the Stellenbosch terroir. Rust en Vrede is proud to be part of a remarkable three hundred year old wine tradition and continues to pursue the excellence synonymous with wines produced by Stellenbosch's private estates.
Run by the Engelbrecht family, this Estate has thrived since Jannie (ex Springboks coach) took it over in the mid ‘80s and ripped out the white wine vines to concentrate on his beloved reds. Large and continuous investment in better vines and better facilities at the cellar has led to the production of world class wines.
