Since 1977 the Engelbrecht family has specialized in the exclusive production of red wine, with the focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Proprietor Jean Engelbrecht hasworked to maintain Rust en Vrede as one of South Africa’s premium red wine estates, with full bodied and complex wines that reflect the uniqueness of its Stellenbosch terroir.
