Rust en Vrede Shiraz 2009
This fruit driven nose is both complex and interesting, backed up by subtle chocolate and cigar box aromas which filter onto the palate with a soft juicy finish.

Helderberg stalwart since maiden 79. Masterly handling in ripe vintage, smoky dark plums, 15% alc, without giving way to excess: structure is firm, balancing the fruit, tannins give sustained savoury length. New Fr/Am oak 18 mths. (Platter 2009) From the world renowned Rust en Vrede Estate comes a wine that is elegant and appealing, with plenty of plum and berry flavours. The greatest truths are the simplest and so are the greatest men and women. This wine is a fine example of a wine given, produced and refined by nature. It is that simple. Pure elegance in a bottle.
