Description
The Rupert & Rothschild Baron Edmond is a classic Bordeaux blend, with a deep ruby hue. It initially expresses aromas of raspberry and thyme, which, through careful oak aging, evolve into subtle notes of cinnamon spice and tobacco. On the palate, intriguing layers of plum, cassis, and black cherry are harmoniously combined by a firm yet refined, velvety texture.
This wine is made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. The grapes were harvested by hand from early February to late March 2018, with an average yield of 8 tons per hectare. Stored for 18 months in 225L barriques, the wine has an aging potential of at least 15 years. This is a wonderful wine to pair with steak or, even better, a rib eye steak with a soft, creamy purée and a flavorful jus.

About Rupert & Rothschild
1997 is the year Rupert & Rothschild was born – driven by a shared passion for wine and a shared pursuit of excellence. But the story goes back much further – centuries, in fact – to the birth of two families sharing the same vision. The Rothschild family's wine history originated in France, where James de Rothschild purchased Château Lafite, the most important Bordeaux estate, in 1868. He began a love affair with the vine that would be continued more than 100 years later by his great-grandson, Baron Edmond de Rothschild. Motivated by a dream to create some of the world's finest wines, Baron Edmond de Rothschild established several wineries across Europe and, later, in countless remote corners of the globe – a valuable collection that together forms the Edmond de Rothschild Heritage.
Driven by determination and unwavering optimism, the late Dr. Anton Rupert always had entrepreneurship in his blood. Besides a flair for building businesses from scratch, he and his wife Huberte fostered a reverence for art, people, the natural world, and the promise of South African wine. He and his family devoted considerable energy and many years to cultivating estates in Franschhoek that offer excellence, pleasure, and prestige to the world. Baron Edmond de Rothschild, well-established in the Old World, was eager to bring his passion and expertise across the waters—to cherish wines of great ancestry in the lands of the New World. His meeting with Dr. Rupert provided the ideal foundation for a joint venture on the sun-drenched soils of South Africa. Read more under the heading: Winery

Rupert & Rothschild is a collaboration between the Rupert family in South Africa and the Rothschild family in France. From its inception in 1997, this brand has been built on just three wines. Not surprising, but they draw inspiration from the French way of winemaking; the red wine specialists with a core focus on Bordeaux varietals and the white wine is a chardonnay.
1997 is the year in which Rupert & Rothschild was born – out of a shared passion for wine, a shared pursuit of excellence. But the story goes back much further – centuries in fact – to the birth of two families who shared the same vision.
The Rothschild family's winemaking history has its origins in France, where James de Rothschild bought the main Bordeaux estate Château Lafite in 1868. He began a love affair with the vine that would be continued more than 100 years later by his great-grandson, Baron Edmond de Rothschild. Motivated by a dream to shape some of the best wines in the world, Baron Edmond de Rothschild founded several wineries in Europe, and later, in countless remote corners of the world – a valuable collection that together makes up Edmond de Rothschild Heritage.

In addition to a flair for building businesses from scratch, he and his wife Huberte nurtured a reverence for art, for people, for the natural world, and for the promise of South African wine. He and his family have devoted a great deal of energy and many years to cultivating estates in Franschhoek that provide excellence, pleasure, and prestige to the world.
Baron Edmond de Rothschild, well established in the Old World, was eager to take his passion and expertise across the waters – to nurture wines of great lineage in the lands of the New World. His meeting with dr. Rupert was the ideal base for a joint venture in the sun-drenched grounds of South Africa.
In May 1997, the founders formalized their partnership. They found the perfect location: a quiet Franschhoek farmhouse at the foot of the Simonsberg. And they are committed to a simple and elegant approach. A distinctly French approach. To create three carefully crafted wines – two Bordeaux blends and one Chardonnay – that would express the full potential of the local vines. They had to be iconic wines that set their own standards: rare, special, unique wines. Wines that taste of progress and prosperity, family and friendship. Wines that are not made for profit or pride, but purely out of love for the craft and the pleasure of the end product.
