Anthonij Rupert Main Blend 2016

Name: Anthonij Rupert Main Blend 2016
Brand: Anthonij Rupert
SKU: 50377

Complex bouquet of black berry fruits, rich fruitcake, tobacco, herbs and even a subtle note of violets. The palate is superbly refined, elegant and poised with the rounded rich black cherry, plum and cassis notes countered by spice, cedar and deeper leather and tobacco leaf/cigar box flavours. Powerful but restrained. The oak is effortlessly integrated and supports the fruit harmoniously. Complex, long and richly rewarding. An aristocrat of a wine.

in the vineyard : The vineyards for this specific blend were chosen from our best sites, L’Ormarins in Franschhoek and Rooderust in Groenekloof, close to Darling.
The L'Ormarins vineyards with the decomposed granite supplied the richness and fullness to the wine. The Rooderust vineyards, which has more clay and a slightly warmer climate, supplied the intense fruit aromas. Together these terroirs produced a unique wine.

in the cellar : Grapes are picked at optimal ripeness in small 18kg lug boxes, and then transported to the winery in refrigerated trucks. This is to prevent premature crushing and oxidation of the grape juice. At the winery, the grapes are stored in a cold room at 5°C.
