Anthonij Rupert
Anthonij Rupert Wyne was founded on the farm L’Ormarins in Franschhoek. Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert who passed away in 2001 the farm was eventually taken over by his brother Johann Rupert in 2003 and the brand named after him. It was Johann Rupert who constructed a state-of-the-art winemaking facility catapulting the farm into a prestigious wine estate and the beginnings of what is now a sprawling enterprise. The focus is on terroir specific wines and therefore the ranges are made from a number of sites. Each site offers optimum varietal specific growing conditions allowing Anthonij Rupert Wyne to adhere to the requirements of their different brands.
Description
Bold graphite, earthy aromas with a subtle blackcurrant leaf note over black and blueberry fruit. Faint touch of oak apparent. There is pure black berry fruit on the palate. Succulent, supple and beautifully smooth and refined, the oak is well knit, creating a polished platform upon which the fruit dances. Seductive, teasing hint of violet perfume too. Lovely texture and restraint which create an overall impression of elegance. Long, rewarding finish.
Food Pairing
Ideal with lamb, veal or sage butter pasta.
