Anthonij Rupert 2025 Protea Sauvignon Blanc
South African White
$20.99
Passion fruit, lime and nectarine lead the bouquet, joined by fresh stone fruit. The palate is lively and crisp, with bright grapefruit and subtle gravel-and-flint notes contributing a dry, mineral impression. After overnight skin contact, the juice was cool-fermented in stainless steel and spent extended time on the lees, producing a fuller, rounded texture before a dry citrus finish.
Anthonij Rupert 2018 Protea Merlot
South African Red
$22.99
Blue and black berries, a light leafy note and cocoa open the profile. The palate is fruity, soft, rounded and juicy, with dark berries, gentle spice and a plush, velvety texture. Made entirely from Merlot, the wine was fermented on the skins for about fifteen days. Free-run and pressed juice were aged separately, then blended after eight months.
Anthonij Rupert 2021 Optima
South African Red
$49.99
Fruitcake, cedar, cocoa and dried lavender define the bouquet. The palate is broad, fleshy, succulent, soft, rounded and silky, with spice, rich dark fruitcake and a lingering dry tail. Whole berries are double-sorted, then fermented dry on the skins and given extended post-fermentation maceration. Fermentation uses French oak and stainless steel, followed by malolactic fermentation and twenty months in French oak barrels, thirty percent new.
Anthonij Rupert 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon
South African Red
$119.99
Tea leaf, violets, dark Christmas cake and black cherry form a layered nose. The palate is rich, with brewed tea, tomato leaf, spice and cedar. The wine is structured, balanced and long. Cabernet Sauvignon comes mainly from Franschhoek, with a smaller portion from Groenekloof in Darling. Fermentation uses wild yeasts, and maturation lasts twenty-four months in French oak, sixty percent new.
Anthonij Rupert 2019 Cabernet Franc Franschhoek
South African Red
$109.99
Blackberry leads with oregano, cocoa, graphite and a distinctive fynbos lift. The palate is succulent and generously fruited, bringing dark berry depth together with cinnamon spice and a firm savoury line. Polished tannins hold the concentration in balance while fresh acidity keeps the texture composed. The finish is long and layered, lingering on black fruit, cocoa, spice and mineral detail.
