About this Item
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
‘2007 confirms 2005’s welcome shift to a more elegant, restrained mode (no 2006). Aromas of crème de cassis, Asian spice, and liquorice. Moderate 13.5% alc forms part of a refreshing style, with all-new oak well absorbed. Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*
‘Dark garnet color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of violet, cassis, plums and boysenberries. Flavors of boysenberries, black cherries and plums. Medium to bright acidity, medium tannin, full bodied. Drink or hold.’ - Cellartracker.com, 93/100 (Jan 2019)
