6 x 2006 Rust en Vrede 1694 (750ml), Provenance: Restaurant Mosaic Wine Cellar Collection
Rust en Vrede is a historic winery located in the Stellenbosch wine region of South Africa. Known for its red wines made from Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the winery has won international acclaim for making the first South African red wine to be featured in Wine Spectator's Top 100 wine list. The Rust en Vrede estate was established in 1694 by Willem Adrian van der Stel, who was then-governor of the Cape. Some wine was produced on the property, but the vineyards lay largely dormant for many years until it was purchased by the Engelbrecht family in 1977.
The 1694 is a luxurious, powerful blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon and is made in miniscule quantities. 2006 is the highly acclaimed maiden vintage.
"An impressive and large-scaled wine that offers loads of currant paste, braised fig, beef, roasted earth, tar and graphite notes, all backed by grilled herb, aged tobacco and bittersweet cocoa on the finish. Very dense, but the fruit and tug of earth should merge fully with cellaring. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon … 300 cases made." Wine Spectator, 93/100 (2010)
