Product Notes

Rupert & Rothschild Classique is a quintessential Bordeaux-style blend from South Africa. This sophisticated wine captivates with a seamless fusion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering lush flavours of dark fruit, delicate vanilla and plush tannins. An inviting nose of cherries, blackberries and cigar box nuances is followed by an exquisitely balanced palate that lingers on the tongue. Classique's profound depth is true to its terroir, and its elegance speaks for the steadfast dedication to quality by Rupert & Rothschild. Best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes, it's a must-have addition to any discerning wine aficionado's collection.

Tasting Notes

Alluring aromas are lead with a vibrant floral expression, followed by generous black cherries, plum, and blackcurrant. The use of oak is subtle and supportive, lifting the aromatic profile with oak spice and graphite notes. Balanced palate with poised acidity providing a rich and silky mouth feel.
