Anthonij Rupert Optima wine is an exquisite South African blend crafted with finesse and delight. Its complex, yet harmonious taste emanates from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wine's bewitching deep ruby colour is complemented by its vibrant notes of cassis, licorice and black berries, rounded off with an enthralling spicy undertone. The wine's ageing potential and elegant oak finish make it a sublime choice for special occasions. With its velvety texture and balanced acidity, Anthonij Rupert Optima brings an unparalleled wine tasting experience - a true reflection of South African winemaking excellence.

Tasting Notes

Seductive interplay of a melange of dark fruits and spice on the nose. 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 sympathetic oaking which is harmoniously integrated. Rewarding and long on the finish.
