Description
This South African Bordeaux is a classic blend of Merlot 41%, Cabernet Sauvignon 39%, Cabernet Franc 11%, Petit Verdot 8%, and Malbec 1%. After hand-picking, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with regular pumping over the skins. Malolactic fermentation is completed in the tanks, after which it is left to age undisturbed for 16 months in oak barrels.
The Rupert & Rothschild Red Classique boasts seductive aromas led by a vibrant floral expression, followed by generous black cherry, plum, and blackcurrant notes. The use of oak is subtle and supportive, enhancing the aromatic profile with oak spice and graphite notes. The palate is well-balanced with balanced acidity, creating a rich and silky mouthfeel.

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

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2021 Rupert & Rothschild Red Classique is een elegante Zuid-Afrikaanse Bordeaux-blend met rijke aroma’s van zwarte bessen, pruimen en een subtiele toets van eikenkruiden en grafiet. De verfijnde smaak wordt gekenmerkt door een mooie balans tussen fruit, kruidigheid en een zijdeachtig mondgevoel, waardoor deze wijn perfect in balans is. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij gerechten met lam of wild, vooral wanneer het vlees langzaam gegaard wordt of een rijke saus heeft, omdat de fruitige en kruidige tonen mooi aansluiten bij de diepe smaken van het vlees. Een langzaam gegaard lamrack of een wildstoofje met kruidige ingrediënten komen hier bijvoorbeeld goed tot hun recht, waardoor de wijn en het gerecht elkaar versterken voor een ware smaaksensatie. |

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.

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.
