Specialising in the production of red wine only, Rust en Vrede has established itself as one of South Africa's premium red wine estates. Full-bodied and complex, Rust en Vrede's wines reflect the uniqueness of the Stellenbosch terroir. Rust en Vrede is proud to be part of a remarkable three hundred year old wine tradition and continues to pursue the excellence synonymous with wines produced by Stellenbosch's private estates. Protected terroir high up on the Helderberg Mountain is vital to imparting deep warm flavours to the wines. North facing and slightly warmer, the vineyard's close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean is what keep the temperatures low and extend the ripening period of the grapes. Harvested at 24ºc, the Shiraz ferments in open tank fermentors and pumped over five times per day. Each Shiraz clone sees a unique treatment of yeast and wood. Matured fifty percent in new American oak and the rest in second fill oak for 18 months, the wine receives bottle-maturation for a further twenty months before release. A Deep mulberry red coloured wine with aromas of dark plum, cherry, leather and smoked bacon are infused with subtle oak. The incredible fusion of pepper, spice, cherry on the palate with floral and Eucalyptus notes has produced a wine with a long, clean elegant finish. (6 x 75 cl)

Botalcura EL DELIRIO Merlot Chile
Description: Vina Botalcura is the result of the passion of two men. Chilean partner, Juan Fernando Waidele, was seduced by the charm of the town of Botalcura and its environs, and this is where the idea to build a winery started. Juan Fernando then met enologist Philippe Debrus, who had a strong desire to return to a hands-on approach to winemaking, a style he learned in his native France when he was young. The winery is named after the town it is based in, Botalcura, near Talca, about 3 hours south of Santiago, in the coastal mountain range that forms the Maule Valley. Additionally, the word Botalcura means Large Stone in Mapundungun, the language of the Mapuche people of southern Chile. To complement the fruit grown on the company's own vineyards, grapes are sourced from the best areas of Chile, selecting those that fully express the intense, particular characteristics of the soils and climates from which they originate. Here great care is taken from hand picking the grapes only in the morning hours to keep fruit cool in the vine yard into the winery where 30% of the wine is aged six months in one and two year-old oak barrels before being bottled. A red ruby coloured wine with dark reflects and aomas of intense blackberry, plum, vanilla, nutmeg and oak. Gentle on the front palate, opening to full fruit flavours in the mouth-filling middle this wine is showing intense and well-integrated tannins that lend a solid structure, in harmony with the acidity. Medium-bodied and long on the finish this is a wine to savour. (12 x 75 cl)

This is an uncomplicated wine for everyday enjoyment. It brings together the respective charms of Chardonnay and Viognier: the first provides voluptuousness in the mouth and the second, the intensity of flavours. Notes of wood appear at the end and reveal ageing in oak barrels. The result is a captivating and original blend with solid fruit expression and a soft, but full mouthfeel. This wine is a blend of Chardonnay 66%/Viognier 34% showing a pale yellow coloured wine with transparent reflects. The attractive nose recalls white tree fruits such as apricot, melon and green plum, joined by notes of mandarin and butter accents, delicately balanced with toasted almonds and vanilla. Soft and attractive, with broad balance on the mid-palate, delicate tannin structure through to a semi long finish. (12 x 75 cl)

Botalcura EL DELIRIO Reserva Syrah Malbec Chile
Description: Vina Botalcura is the result of the passion of two men. Chilean partner, Juan Fernando Waidele, was seduced by the charm of the town of Botalcura and its environs, and this is where the idea to build a winery started. Juan Fernando then met enologist Philippe Debrus, who had a strong desire to return to a hands-on approach to winemaking, a style he learned in his native France when he was young. The winery is named after the town it is based in, Botalcura, near Talca, about 3 hours south of Santiago, in the coastal mountain range that forms the Maule Valley. Additionally, the word Botalcura means Large Stone in Mapundungun, the language of the Mapuche people of southern Chile. The gapes, sourced in Maule and the Central Valley, are hand-picked into half-ton bins and undergo cluster selection on the vine, with leaf removal. Here great care is taken and illustrated in the harvest taking place only in the morning hours to keep the fruit cool. Finally 30% of the wine spent six months in one and two year old oak barrels before release. This wine showcases the synergy between these two great varieties. The Syrah lends grip and structure, while the Malbec provides color, aromatic complexity, and voluptuous body. The result is a remarkably intense, fruity, and voluminous wine, while it has been barrel aged to complement the grape flavours. This blend of Syrah 65% and Malbec 35% is a medium-deep ruby red colour, with dark red cherry highlights. Displaying attractive aromas of ripe blackberry and black cherry, with notes of violets, oak, black pepper, nutmeg and vanilla the broad palate leads to a round, mouth-filling middle, with good soft tannins. Very elegant, with approachable balance, nice alcohol and acid balance. (12 x 75 cl)
