Rupert & Rothschild Classique, a sumptuous South African wine, elegantly marries the finest Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This rich and full-bodied red wine embodies the pure intensity of perfectly ripe fruit, layered with notes of cloves, vanilla, and dark chocolate. Its velvety tannins, serenely balanced with impeccable oak integration, form a rounded, plush conclusion. On the nose, a sophisticated bouquet of crushed black cherry and earthy spice captures one's senses. The Classique's lingering finish makes it an exquisite partner for robust dishes. Ultimately, Rupert & Rothschild Classique serves as a testament to the exceptional quality of South African viticulture.

Tasting Notes
