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 2019 Anthonij Rupert Syrah offers a complex bouquet with delicate hints of lavender, poached plum, spice, dried herbs, and polished oak. The palate is rich, rounded, and velvety, with flavors of black fruits such as plum compote, along with baking spices and herbs. A light sprinkling of pepper and fynbos adds vibrancy, while the oak is well-integrated, providing a smooth framework for the wine’s full-bodied and elegant structure. The wine finishes with a long, lively tail.
Food Pairing
This Syrah pairs beautifully with venison, lamb, and beef, making it ideal for hearty meals.
