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 2020 vintage of Anthonij Rupert Merlot presents bold aromas of spicy plum pudding, black cherry, and dark chocolate. The palate is plush and velvety, delivering rich plum and dark fruit flavors complemented by cocoa powder and chocolate notes. The oak is seamlessly integrated, adding layers of complexity without overpowering the fruit. The wine concludes with a long, supple, and silky finish.
Food Pairing
This Merlot pairs excellently with grilled lamb, beef stews, and mushroom risotto. Its rich fruit profile and refined tannins complement hearty dishes, enhancing the overall dining experience.
