Anthonij Rupert Optima 1.5L

"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.
