Rupert & Rothschild Baron Edmond 2022

An elegant and expressive wine revealing aromatic notes of liquorice, cedarwood, and graphite. The palate opens with savoury oak spice, unfolding into layers of plum and black cherry. The finish is refined and long, framed by silky, well-integrated tannins that create a plush yet delicate texture.

This wine complements a springbok fillet with black cherry glaze, crisp spring vegetables, coriander and quince puree, fondant potato, and red wine jus.

about the harvest: An ideal winter brought consistent cold and ample rain, setting the stage for healthy, even vine growth. A warm, dry summer delayed picking and reduced yields, but delivered smaller, concentrated berries with beautifully ripe tannins. The result: a wine of plush structure, depth, and refinement.

in the cellar : Handpicked grapes, meticulously sorted, were fermented in stainless steel with extended skin contact for optimal colour and flavour. Only free-run wine was selected, ageing for 18 months in 225L French oak barrels, 51% of which were new.
