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
Subtle stone fruit whis of nectarine and peach with quince and a light vanilla oak backing. Rich, bright and vivid entry with more of the same stone fruit apparent, along with the broad, creamy oak platform. Lovely full, textured mouthful in which nothing is overplayed. The integrated wood notes support and frame the nectarine, quince and even light marmalade avours beautifully. Keeping it fresh and light is a good line of acidity. e elegant harmony continues to a long, refined tail and echo of fruit.
Food Pairing
Grilled prawn salad, sushi, chocolate-dipped strawberries.
