Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons
In the heart of the picturesque Franschhoek valley, surrounded by majestic mountains and lush vineyards, Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons was born, a name that embodies elegance, tradition, and an international vision. The result of an alliance between two prestigious families – the Ruperts, an icon of the South African wine scene, and the Rothschilds, synonymous with Bordeaux excellence – this estate is a virtuous meeting between the Old and New World.
Here, viticulture is a meticulous art: the vines, cared for with sustainable practices, benefit from mineral-rich soils and a unique climate, where the oceanic influence tempers the hot summer days. The manual harvesting of the grapes and careful selection ensure wines of extraordinary aromatic purity.
The range is a sensory journey. “Classique” is an enveloping blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, rich in ripe red fruits and delicate spicy notes; “Baron Edmond” is a red with great structure, complex and long-lived, perfect for those who love evolution in the bottle; “Baroness Nadine” is a refined, mineral, and silky Chardonnay that elegantly tells of the freshness of the terroir. The skillful use of French oak adds depth without ever overpowering the fruit's essence.
Every bottle signed by Rupert & Rothschild is an invitation to discover a rare balance: that between enological precision, respect for nature, and an authentic passion for wine. Ideal for accompanying special moments or enriching a prestigious cellar, these labels speak a universal language, made of harmony and beauty.
Also available on Vino45, they are the perfect choice for those who wish to bring the charm of an international icon and the vibrant soul of South Africa to the table.

Klapmuts - Simondium Road, Simondium, 7670, South Africa
