Anthonij Rupert Optima

 "This wine pays homage to my late brother, Anthonij Rupert whose dream it was to make Cape wines which could compete with the finest in the world." - Johann Rupert. 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot

Nose: Seductive interplay of a melange of dark fruits and spice on the nose.

Palate: 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 sympa-thetic oaking which is harmoniously integrated.

Finish: Rewarding and long on the finish.
