PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Anthonij Rupert Wyne was founded on the farm L’Ormarins in Franschhoek. Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert, the farm was taken over by Johann Rupert in 2003 and the brand named after him. The Anthonij Rupert Optima 2020 displays a complex bouquet of fruitcake, cedar, cocoa and a perfumed whiff of dried lavender. Broad, fleshy and succulent with all that the nose promises being delivered on the palate. Spice sprinkled cedar with rich dark fruitcake flavour. Wonderfully soft, rounded and silky palate that shows cohesion and refinement. Impressive density and concentration that doesn’t overwhelm. Nor does the oak used in the maturation of this impressive blend. Plush, comfortable and eminently rewarding with a lingering dry tail. A red wine blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
