Our top red wine from Vrede en Lust, named after Dana and Etienne's late grandfather.

Style & Tasting Notes

Dominant Cabernet Sauvignon flavours and berry aromas, followed by pencil shavings and cedar on the nose. Layers of flavours with clean lines. A wonderful balance between the elegance of the wine and the ripeness of the fruit.

Wine Making Notes

Cultivars are picked at optimal ripeness and fermented in Stainless steel tanks, with a portion completing malolactic fermentation in 225L oak barrels. The wine is matured in French oak (35% new) for 14-16 months.
