An intense full bodied wine showing violets and hints of vanilla on the nose with mocha and toffee characters on the palate. Aged for twenty-four months in French oak barriques

Pinotage, a truly South African grape, originated from a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.  The FAT Bastard Pinotage was made from specially selected grapes from our ripe harvest resulting in a wine which displays intense fruit flavour and character.

All fruit was hand-harvested and gently pressed to retain these expressive aromas and flavours.  The wine was aged in small oak barrels to add greater weight and complexity.

The nose of this wine shows ripe plum and banana with a lingering impression of chocolate and plum pudding.

The first South African red wine to be internationally acclaimed one of the best 100 wines in the world for four consecutive years, Rust en Vrede is proud of our history and even more excited about our future. I invite you to visit Rust en Vrede, experience our wine and our food as a lifestyle and quality as an Estate of mind.
