About this Item
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.
The Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was conceptualized by Jean Engelbrecht as his generational contribution to the family legacy. A pure expression of only the best Cabernet Sauvignon that Rust en Vrede has to offer.

Critics Ratings
‘2011 continues oaky note of 2010 (4.5 stars). Cassis & cocoa richness with grip & backbone but juicy too. Complex, layered & serious, it needs time. Long maturation in bottle before release, as for all.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4* (2015)
‘A grippy style, with ganache and licorice snap notes dotting the edges of the fruitcake-, plum sauce— and blackberry preserves—filled core. A briary accent adds energy to the finish, lending this hefty wine good focus and balance. Best from 2016 through 2025.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Apr 2015)
