Blend-South Africa

Rust en Vrede was the first Stellenbosch private winery in South Africa to specialize in the exclusive production of red wines. In the early 1980s, it also became the first producer in South Africa to make a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot, a wine now known as Rust en Vrede Estate. Run by Jean Engelbrecht. the ambassador of South African wines, and with the help of head winemaker Louis Strydom, the evolution of Rust en Vrede's wines and image were rewarded when Wine Spectator named the Rust en Vrede Estate to its Top 100 Wines four years in a row, a first for a South African winery.
