Las Enfrede Estate Blend

Rust en Vrede, Rust en Vrede, Estate Blend

The rich aromas of cassis, mulberry, cedar, and tobacco indicate a Cabernet-dominated blend. The Syrah's fresh cherry and black pepper spice notes, along with hints of mocha, Christmas cake, sandalwood, and leather, add a layered complexity to the wine. The firm tannins and moderate acidity are well-balanced. The wine has a long, satisfying finish and promises to age well.
