Winery Rupert & Rothschild
At Rupert and Rothschild, the grapes are carefully hand-harvested and interventions during winemaking are kept to a minimum. Once fermentation is complete, the high-quality juice is separated from the skins. Finally, the remaining skins are gently pressed. Each vintage, the entire red wine production is aged in small French oak barrels, which gives the final product balance and complexity. The Rothschild family's passion for wine began in 1868 when James de Rothschild acquired Château Lafite. The traditions of the Rothschild wineries have been continuously maintained until it became the empire it is today.
A classic Bordeaux blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It has a very intense, almost dark ruby red color. The aroma is spicy with young notes of sweet wood and then blueberry and cinnamon, completing a rather austere and aristocratic bouquet. In the mouth, the tannins are already fine and about to solidify, while the acidity is excellent and refreshing, supporting the body, making the wine easy to drink.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
