Deep ruby red and deep. It has fresh aromas and lively, reminiscent of
raspberries, wild strawberries and dried herbs. At taste it is well
balanced, with aromas due to ripe black fruit, bay leaf, white pepper
and tobacco. Precise and clean from start to finish, has good
persistence. It is excellent with lamb cooked slowly, or in combination
with a good filet lightly seared beef, served with mashed potatoes with
truffles. Rupert &
Rothschild Vignerons is a South African wine producer located at the
foot of Simonsberg Mountain in the Franschhoek Valley. The estate was
founded in 1997 in collaboration between Baron Benjamin de Rothschild of
France, who sought to diversify the wine portfolio of Compagnie
Vinicole, and the late Anthonij Rupert of South Africa, then owner of
Fredericksburg farm. The prestigious partnership between the South
African and French families continues today with the production of three
Rupert & Rothschild wines including a Chardonnay – Baroness Nadine,
a Bordeaux blend – Baron Edmond, and a red blend – Classique.
