Peppery spice, blue and black fruit with additional allure of a brush of dried herb and fynbos on the nose. Corduroy softness and mouthfeel is apparent on entry. That texture grows, as does the fruit intensity, into a fantail of flavour: ripe plum, blueberry and a hint of licorice and herbs. Buttressing that ripeness is the structure lent by well integrated oak and a sinewy muscularity and leashed power. Good frame and harmony– nothing is dominant. Long, rich tail with spice and fynbos on the end.

All of the berries used to make this wine were sorted using an optical sorting machine to ensure that only the best quality was used throughout the making of the Anthonij Rupert Syrah. Fermentation took place in stainless steel and concrete tanks. After fermenting dry on the skins, the wine was pressed and immediately transferred to a barrel. The process of malolactic fermentation was finished off in the barrel.

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.
