Vrede en Lust
Vrede en Lust releases new vintages of two of their most well-known wines, both earning top spots in recent Winemag.co.za competitions.

The popular and premium Jess Rosé 2023 ranked top 10 in the Prescient Rosé Report 2023 with one of the highest scores a dry rosé has achieved in South Africa.

The Vrede en Lust Jess Rosé was named after the owner’s eldest daughter Jessica-Lee, on her 16th birthday. A playfully pink rosé that over-delivers in quality with a light body and bursting aromas, this is your perfect summer partner.

The second new release this summer is the renowned Boet Erasmus 2019 vintage, also scoring high in the top 10 of the Prescient Cape Bordeaux Red Blend Report 2023, convened by Winemag.co.za.

The eponymous Boet Erasmus is named in honour of the owners of Vrede en Lust’s grandfather, with its flagship status reflected by this reputable award.

The blend incorporates classic varietals Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, carefully constructed with smaller parts Malbec and Petit Verdot, showcasing abundant fruit that is well-balanced with structured oak.

With this new vintage already receiving accolades, the Boet Erasmus 2019 beckons wine enthusiasts to embark on a journey of sophistication.
