About this Item

Rupert & Rothschild
Baron Edmund, 1999
3 (1 x 3) 1500ml

Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons was established in 1997 under the leadership of Dr. Anton Rupert and Baron Edmond de Rothschild. The men later handed over the reins to their respective sons: Anthonij Rupert and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. Few SA wine brands have been able to penetrate the premium global market quite like R&R with their distinctive Bordeaux-style blends from the Cape.

Critics Ratings

‘Magnificent addition to Cape’s burgeoning Bordeaux pantheon. Latest 1999 - 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Merlot blend (vintage rather than formula dependent) more pulse-racing than contemplative, cerebral 1998. Hedonistic, opulent, weighty (14% alc), but the drama is matched by refinement - tantalising clove, dark forest berry aromas; textural richness reined in my supple, ripe tannins; taut, pulsing persistence. Effortlessly absorbs 26 months new Taransaud/Demptos barrelling. Delicious, but destined for greater heights over minimum 7-8 years. Grapes selected from prime vineyards, blended during vinification.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2002, 4.5*
