Description
Elegant and ethereal, this Pinot Noir from the high-altitude slopes of Elandskloof offers lifted aromas of wild raspberry, cherry, and forest floor. On the palate, it's graceful yet layered—juicy red berries meet delicate spice, with subtle earthy and leafy undertones that add depth and intrigue. Supple tannins and vibrant acidity carry the wine to a focused, lingering finish. It’s a refined and expressive cool-climate Pinot with both finesse and quiet power—pure Sneeukrans.
Grown in the cool, high-altitude valley of Elandskloof, this Pinot Noir benefits from a long, slow ripening season that builds layered complexity and natural acidity. We hand-picked and vinified the fruit in separate batches based on ripeness and clone, then gently fermented it in small open-top tanks. Aged for 10 months in seasoned French oak and bottled unhurriedly, this wine captures the purity, elegance, and structure that make Sneeukrans a standout in every vintage.

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.
