Description
Rich and expressive, the 2021 Anthonij Rupert Syrah captures the essence of Franschhoek terroir with depth and finesse. Aromas of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and plum are layered with notes of black pepper, spice, and subtle smoked meat. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet elegant, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity framing concentrated fruit flavors. A long, savory finish lingers with hints of oak and spice, making this Syrah both powerful and refined—a perfect partner for grilled meats, hearty stews, or simply enjoyed on its own.
Hand-harvested Syrah grapes were carefully sorted before fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with regular pump-overs for optimal color and flavor extraction. After fermentation, the wine matured in French oak barrels to develop structure, complexity, and refined spice notes, resulting in a Syrah of depth, elegance, and balance.

Anthonij Rupert Wyne was founded on the farm L’Ormarins in Franschhoek. Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert, who passed away in 2001, the farm was taken over by his brother Johann Rupert in 2003. It was Johann Rupert who constructed a state-of-the-art winemaking facility on the estate, and the beginnings of what was to become a sprawling enterprise with a focus on terroir specific wines.
