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
The nose is complex, with a typical herbaceous undertone, spicy notes, cocoa powder and graphite, and dark fruitcake notes. On the palate, the same rich dark chocolate, fruitcake, and cedar flavours, as well as tomato plant flavours, are present. The wine has a comforting and enveloping texture. It is long, sleek, and refined, with dry, fine tannins that show a good use of oak. It's as composed and assured structurally, with none of the layered elements dominating. At the end, the blackberry fruit is ripe and succulent.
Food Pairing
Ideal with lamb, veal or sage butter pasta.
