🍷 Anthonij Rupert Cellar: Prestigious Wines from South Africa 🍇

Discover the excellence of Anthonij Rupert Cellar, a prestigious winery nestled in the picturesque Franschhoek Valley of South Africa. Named in honour of the late Dr Anton Rupert, a revered South African entrepreneur and philanthropist, this estate is renowned for its exceptional wines and breathtaking natural beauty.

South Africa has two essential elements of a great terroir. The ancient soils (oldest than any other wine-growing region) and a wealth of old vines from numerous varieties.

The Sant’Urbano vineyard is located on a hill in the municipality of Fumane. It has excellent exposure to the sun at around 300 m altitude with calcareous, clayey soil of volcanic origin, which favours moisture retention, preventing excessive dryness.

It is austere initially and needs an hour in a carafe to show its true potential.

The Valpolicella wine region has the unique ability to produce four different types of wine. These are: Amarone Della Valpolicella DOCG, Recioto Della Valpolicella DOCG, Valpolicella Ripasso DOC and Valpolicella Classico or Classico Superiore DOC.

Gi & Ouranos is one of the most featured wines in the Naoussa region and represents a new wave of wines where the tannins are tamed, the oak is hidden, and all the attention goes to fresh fruity character and the elegancy.

Although it has a lot of density and power, it lacks the grace that the best Pinot Noirs can achieve. Still, I firmly believe that Germany is an excellent source of high-quality, affordable Pinot Noir.

In a wine region like Burgundy, where the prices are rising yearly and the demand for wines is more than ever, it is not easy to find good bottles in the ten euro category.

Nykteri was Santorini's white fine wine in the past. The grapes were picked early in the morning before the heat made things complicated, and the grapes were pressed the same night when the temperature was more relaxed, and daylight could not cause oxidation problems.

Arguably, the white wines from Santorini and especially those are made from Assyrtiko start showing their true qualities after the third year of their life.

Marchese Antinori is one of the largest wine producers in Italy, with plenty of privately owned estates all over Italy and abroad as well. So, deep know-how is needed to keep high quality in such a commercial wine.

Cuvée Nykteri is the third in line wine of the Cuvée series of the Estate Argyros. Through this series, the Estate tries to point out a more concentrated and bold style Assyrtiko worth a certain ageing period before reaching its top.

Tignanello is an iconic wine, and not by luck. It is one of the wines that influenced Italian wine history and helped the Chianti region overcome the quality problems, bad reputation, and undervalued prices.

The scarce Schioppettino variety shares equal parts with the ancient Limnio variety, and the result is exciting.

The category of Orange Wines is one of the toughest, if not the toughest, winemaker's challenges to create a drinkable result and even more to craft a great one.

That is the oldest Domaine's red label and one of the most popular in the Greek market.

If you are searching for high quality, inexpensive Southern Rhône red wines, then the appellation of Vacqueyras is the right place to explore.

That wine is Greece's answer to the light and fresh Pinot Noir, even those from Burgundy.

I think Vosne-Romanée is the most famous village in the whole wine world.
