Tasting Note

Seductive interplay of a melange of dark fruits and spice on the nose. The seduction continues in the mouth: cassis, blueberry, violet, touches of cedar, cocoa and tobacco leaf. The palate is soft and spicy with a velvety texture and powdery fine tannins. It is simultaneously rich, rounded and refined, softly appealing and structured from sympathetic oaking which is harmoniously integrated. Rewarding and long on the finish.

Product Notes

Anthonij Rupert Optima is a luxurious red blend wine that is carefully crafted with the finest grapes from select vineyards in South Africa's Cape Winelands region. The wine is a blend of classic Bordeaux varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, that are meticulously harvested and blended to achieve a perfectly balanced taste. This wine delivers a complex palate with aromas of red fruit, blackcurrant, coffee, and dark chocolate, followed by rich and intense flavors of blackberry, vanilla, and spice. It is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, which gives it a deep, lingering finish. This wine is a true masterpiece of winemaking, reflecting the passion and expertise of the Anthonij Rupert team.
