Syrah
Subtle violet whiff over plum and black fruit aromas. Succulent and juicy, the palate is boldly flavoured with ample plum fruit and spice. Structured and firm with a solid, yet pliable core and appealingly well-knit tannins, it is balanced and layered. Complex and softly textured with a long finish.

In the Cellar
Grapes are picked by hand, placed into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar in a refrigerated truck. In the cellar, the whole berries are manually double sorted and then gravity fed into fermenters. Each batch is cold soaked for a few days and then slowly brought up in temperature. Fermentation takes place naturally. The wines were aged for 18 to 24 months in 80%-new French oak, bottled unfiltered and bottle aged for 2 years. The vineyards selected for the Anthonij Rupert wines are chosen from vines planted on very specific sites and soil types. The canopies of each block and the final yield of each site was managed precisely to express the character of the different varietal and location.
About the winery: Anthonij Rupert
From its home base on historic L' Ormarins wine farm beneath the jagged peaks of the Groot Drakenstein mountain in Franschhoek, Anthonij Rupert Wyne has cast its net wide, across the length and breadth of the Cape Winelands, in search of what it takes to make the finest wines this corner of the wine-making world has to offer.
