Anthonij Rupert Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

R813.00

Region: Franschhoek

Tasting note:

Understated aromas of dark fruitcake, cherry blossom and subtle violet perfume with just a hint of cocoa powder. Impressive cohesion of nose and palate with those same fruitcake, cherry and violet notes being found in the mouth. Bright, lively and juicy but wonderfully dry and structured with impressive refinement. There’s a good frame of oak around the fruit adding grip and length. Everything is balanced by fresh acidity, making for
a rewarding, rounded mouthful. A long and generous wine.

International businessman Johann Rupert’s model winemaking enterprise, named for his late brother, Anthonij, has the 18th century L’Ormarins Estate as its Franschhoek home. The venture encompasses an internationally successful quintet of brands, namely: Anthonij Rupert, Cape of Good Hope, L’Ormarins, Terra del Capo and Jean Roi.

The vineyards selected for the Anthonij Rupert wines are planted on very specific sites and soil types. The canopies of each block and the final yield of each site is managed precisely to express the character of the different varietal and location.

The wine is then aged for 24 months in 80% new French oak. After bottling the wine is finally bottle-aged for another 24 months.
