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
Pale salmon in color, this wine presents attractive aromas of plum and raspberry with a delicate hint of citrus zest. The palate is rounded and fruity, showcasing the brightness and liveliness of strawberry, raspberry, and plum. Beyond its delicious flavor, it offers a lovely mouthfeel and texture, with an appealing fleshiness. There is a light grip and good body from some lees influence, creating a pleasing harmony of fruit and acid vibrance. The finish reveals citrus notes and an attractive defined dryness.
Food Pairing
This versatile rosé pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including grilled peaches with whipped goat cheese, fresh oysters with a soy dressing, and hot smoked trout Niçoise salad with wholegrain mustard dressing.
