The nose is immediately alluring with floral delicacy, cassis and spicy Christmas cake aromatics. A mélange of black berry fruit with spice, tobacco leaf and cedar flavours are immediately apparent on the rounded, silky, smooth palate. Layered and rich, there is a sensation of leashed power with a supple muscularity apparent in the seamlessly integrated oak and fruit balance. Classic, refined and rewarding, the wine is elegant, harmonious and long.

Grapes are picked by hand, placed into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. In the cellar, the whole berries are sorted with an optical sorting machine and then gravity-fed into wooden fermenters. Each batch is cold-soaked for a few days and then slowly brought up in temperature. Fermentation takes place naturally in wooden tanks. After fermentation 5 days of maceration is allowed.

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.
