Nectarine, quince and citrus notes mingle on the nose, underpinned by a subtle chalk or hot stone aroma. Harmony and balance are the overriding characteristics of this wine in the mouth.
Rich and rewarding, the vibrant fruit – apricot, bright nectarine and poached quince – are subtly framed by creamy oak and a leesy breadth. The integration of fruit and oak is seamless and both are livened by the fresh tang of acidity.
Structured and characterful, the palate retains a lightness and gentle vivacity. Balanced and long with a zesty citrus note on the tail.

The grapes were handpicked and refrigerated before whole bunch pressing the following day. Following overnight settling, 55% of the free run juice was transferred to stainless steel tanks, with the remainder going to French oak puncheons (9% new) and foudres, where spontaneous fermentation took place.

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.
