The Elegance of Two Worlds: South Africa Meets France

The Estate & Terroir

Rupert & Rothschild is the result of a prestigious partnership between the South African Rupert family and the French family of Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. Their shared goal: to create world-class wines that combine the best of both worlds. The winery is located in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley, a historically significant wine-growing area in South Africa. The terroir, characterized by ideal climatic conditions and fertile soils, provides the perfect foundation for producing the highest quality grapes and wines of exceptional elegance and complexity.

Wine Ranges in our Portfolio

Our selection reflects the winery's philosophy. The 'Classique' is an iconic Bordeaux-style red blend, typically made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It is known for its harmonious balance and approachable character. The 'Baroness Nadine' is an outstanding Chardonnay that represents the elegance of the estate's white wines with its finesse and creamy texture. At the top is the 'Baron Edmond', a powerful and profound blend from the best batches of the vintage, which has enormous ageing potential and is the estate's flagship wine.

Food Pairing

The structured red wines like 'Classique' and 'Baron Edmond' are ideal companions for robust meat dishes. Try them with a grilled steak, rack of lamb, or a rich stew. The 'Baroness Nadine' Chardonnay unfolds its full potential alongside roasted chicken, fish dishes with creamy sauces, or a mushroom risotto.

Price Range

The premium wines from Rupert & Rothschild, which bridge the gap between the old and new wine worlds, are available from us from around €26 and offer an exceptional tasting experience.
