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
Oven-baked apricot- and peach aromas vie with cream, nuts and even dried apple rings and a brush of citrus zest. The palate is complex: bright and lively with typical stone fruit zip and vigour initially before opening up and becoming broad, rich, creamy and gently nutty. Well-judged ripeness and body. Good equilibrium of oak and fruit with a creamy lees note also apparent. Finishes dry and crisply clean.
Food Pairing
Grilled prawn salad, sushi, chocolate-dipped strawberries.
