Delicate hints of lavender add interest to the nose which boasts poached plum, spice, dried herbs and polished oak. The mouth is rich and rounded with beautiful velvety smooth texture. All of which serves as a backdrop to the flavours of black fruits, plum compote, baking spices and herbs, seamlessly intertwined in an alluring melange which is so delicious and satisfying. A light sprinkling of pepper and fynbos adds vibrance while the oak is seamlessly meshed providing a frame for the whole mouthful. Cohesive, charming, poised and elegant with a wonderfully long yet lively tail.

All of the berries used in this wine were sorted using an optical sorting machine to ensure that only the best quality was utilised in the production of Anthonij Rupert Syrah. Fermentation occurred in a combination of stainless steel and concrete tanks. After being fermented dry on the skins, the wine was pressed and immediately transferred to the barrel. Malolactic fermentation was finished in a barrel.

The 2019 crop yield was much higher than the previous 2018 vintage, which had suffered three years of severe drought. Weather conditions during the flowering and fruphasest phase in October caused uneven ripening. However, moderate weather during the growing season led to strong growth and denser canopies. The somewhat cooler conditions prior to harvest resulted in exceptional fruit with balanced acidity and outstanding flavours.

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.
