A Rothschild wine from South Africa
This flagship South African wine comes from the Rupert & Rothschild winery. In less than a quarter of a century, this winery has built an impressive history. It's only natural that it will be a resounding success when two icons in the winemaking industry join forces. Rupert & Rothschild is a long-standing partnership between Dr. Anton Rupert, a renowned South African winemaker, and Baron Edmond de Rothschild, a member of the Rothschild dynasty. The village of Klapmuts, situated precisely between Stellenbosch and Paarl, was chosen as the location for the vineyards. French varietals were chosen for the plantings: specifically, Bordeaux varieties. With Rupert & Rothschild, the founders wanted to create high-quality South African wines made with a distinct Bordeaux style. The best of both worlds, ideally combined.The smell and taste of Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons Baron Edmond
This red wine is the cream of the crop from this winery. Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons Baron Edmond is a red wine that many Bordeaux houses envy. It approaches pure perfection. When you open a bottle, you can taste the time and attention that has been poured into this glass. This blend features a large proportion of Cabernet Franc (52%), with some Merlot (32%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (16%) also available. The grapes are harvested by hand, purely to ensure the highest quality. After fermentation, the rich juice is aged for a full 18 months in French oak. This gives it a true Bordeaux flavor. You'll also smell distinct aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, cedarwood, and a hint of fennel. The taste is overwhelming. A thick structure crashes onto your taste buds like a tsunami. The rich fruit blends seamlessly with the robust oak aging. The depth of Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons Baron Edmond is remarkable and unique. Highly recommended.Product details
