Rupert & Rothschild
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.
Description
The 2022 vintage of Rupert & Rothschild Classique offers a polished expression of Cape Bordeaux-style elegance. The nose reveals vibrant aromas of red cherry, cassis, and wild raspberry, layered with nuances of cedar, graphite, and a touch of crushed herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, with ripe tannins framing flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and hints of tobacco and mocha. Balanced acidity provides freshness, while well-integrated oak adds subtle spice and warmth, finishing smooth and refined.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs exceptionally with classic dishes such as roast lamb, grilled beef, and herb-crusted pork loin. It also complements hard cheeses like aged gouda or comté and mushroom-based pastas or risottos.
