About this wine
Rupert & Rothschild Classique is one of South Africa's most respected red blends, bringing together the richness of Cabernet Sauvignon, the plush fruit of Merlot and the structure of Cabernet Franc. Produced in the prestigious Western Cape, this beautifully balanced wine delivers layers of ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry and plum, alongside notes of cedar, tobacco and subtle spice from careful oak ageing.
Smooth, polished and wonderfully refined, this is a superb choice for roast lamb, steak, slow-cooked beef dishes or mature hard cheeses. The Classique offers impressive depth and complexity while remaining approachable and elegant, making it equally suited to dinner parties, gifting or simply enjoying with a great meal.
About the producer
Where This Wine Comes From
Grown by Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons in Franschhoek, South Africa — a blend of 3 varieties led by Cabernet Sauvignon, shaped by the soils and seasons it calls home.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Full-bodied, structured, blackcurrant and cedar. Backbone of Bordeaux.
Merlot
Plush, plummy, softer tannins than Cabernet. Great on its own or in blends.
