Rupert & Rothschild Classique 2020

Rupert & Rothschild Classique 2020 is a red blend with alluring aromas that lead with a vibrant floral expression, followed by generous black cherries, plum, and blackcurrant. The use of oak is subtle and supportive, lifting the aromatic profile with oak spice and graphite notes. Balanced palate with poised acidity providing a rich and silky mouthfeel.

This elegant wine will pair well with a beetroot buckwheat risotto, roasted beets, goats cheese and kalamata olives.
