About
Another from Anthonij Rupert Wines for the books, Cape of Good Hope is the purest expression of terroir specific wines. The Riebeeksrivier farm is situated on the slopes of the Kasteelberg, overlooking the Swartland. Its unique terroir, especially the shale soils, expresses itself strongly in the wine with unique varietal characteristics.e bush vine Chenin Blanc vineyards, planted in 1988, yield fruit of great intensity and richness balanced by bright acidity and length. The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and transported to the cellar in refrigerated trucks. Whole bunches were hand-sorted and pressed and the juice settled overnight. 12% of the wine was fermented and matured in 300l and 500l French Oak barrels (86% new, 14% 2nd ll) and the balance remained in stainless steel tank. The wine spent 8 months on the lees before being blended and bottled.
Product Features
- Complex nose with apricot and nectarine brushed by a dusty gravel element and just a hint of oral perfume. In the mouth, it is lively and tangy with a bright, acidic, lemon zip which then makes way for the rounder, riper melon-, peach-, kiwi fruit and apricot flavours.
- Fresh and lively but with lovely texture and mouthfeel. Good integration of oak.
- Complex with a hint of creamy spice on the tail which lingers long.

We're big believers in retail therapy
The stats we're presenting here are based purely on our staff, who make up a tiny percentage of the general population, but they tell us that 100% of our staff that ordered something online exhibited signs of excitement when that thing was delivered.
We know the saying "Money can't buy happiness", but you don't often see someone crying on a jetski - and not just because all that water splashing around would make it hard to identify the tears in the first place.
Although we do have to ask: if our savings are this good, shouldn't we be calling it discount therapy instead?
