Baron Edmond

Pairs perfectly with fennel crusted sirloin, celeriac purée, potato fondant, hazelnut beurre noisette and a fig and red wine jus.

The grapes were hand-picked from beginning February to end March 2017 with an average yield of 8 tons per hectare.

Matured for 18 months in 225-litre new French oak barrels. The wine has an ageing potential of at least 15 years from vintage.

Fermented in wooden vats and stainless steel tanks. Skin contact for 16 to 25 days resulted in excellent colour, concentration, aroma and flavour compounds.

The Rupert & Rothschild partnership was formed in 1997 by the late Dr Anton Rupert of South Africa and the late Baron Edmond de Rothschild of France. Their vision and guiding principles were carried forward by their sons the late Anthonij Rupert and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. Today the Rupert family and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild share this prestigious partnership in wine production.
