Lormarins
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
Delicate blush or coral pink hue with lively stream of tiny, vigorous bubbles. Low key and subtle aromas of raspberry and strawberry mingle with a limestone/chalk note as well as green apple and citrus zest on the nose. The entry is lively and immediately engaging: bright, tangy and crisp and lemon vivacity. There’s a lip-smacking fresh acidity which precedes a fantail of low-key red fruit, citrus zest, green apple and a light chalky/limestone and gravel dust note. Structured, precise and focussed but superbly succulent and refreshing, it bids a lengthy farewell with a gently creamy tail.
