Johann Rupert?s L?Ormarins Estate is a sight to behold. And why wouldn?t?

While most of us are on lockdown at home the animal kingdom is taking full advantage of the current Covid-19 pandemic. The past week or so, various online videos and images surfaced of wildlife showing off across South Africa.

According to Amorim Cork South Africa MD, Joaquim Sá, Cap Classique is in a better and sparklier state than ever. This statement was made at the announcement of the 2019 Amorim Cork MCC Challenge winners, which were revealed on 12 September.

The 2015 vintage is internationally regarded as one of South Africa’s finest to date, and if there’s one wine that illustrates that, it’s Anthonij Rupert’s Optima 2015. This vintage of this limited Bordeaux blend (40% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon) continues a legacy that has seen previous vintages consistently scoring 90 points and more with international experts.

Winter takes centre stage as the inspiration for Terra del Capo Antipasti Bar’s seasonal menu. A carefully curated menu of quintessential Italian dishes, which features a handful of signature favourites as well as some new plates too tempting not to try.

Renowned internationally as ‘black gold’, the culinary delicacy of fresh truffles is often a hot topic for conversation – not only for their fetching price and scarcity, but mostly for the captivating way in which they enhance the flavours of so many dishes.

On a chilly autumn day this April that sang of the cold weather to come, we confirmed our appointment at the gate then drove through the country scenery of lavender and large trees, gladly accepting a complimentary flute of the pale pink bubbly L’Ormarins Brut Classique once safely out of the rain at Anthonij Rupert Wyne’s Terra del Capo.

For wine aficionados who prefer a lighter, more accessible red wine, look no further than the Terra del Capo Sangiovese 2016 from Anthonij Rupert Wyne. This lighter red wine is perfect for all year enjoyment.

Driving up the treed drive as you enter Anthonij Rupert Estate, one is transported to a Downton Abbey-esque country mansion, with perfectly manicured lawns, dotted with an array of Dylan Lewis bronze sculptures. Breathtaking mountain views complete the picture.

Discounts of up to 20% on wine purchases, exclusive offers, complimentary tastings and invitations to seasonal dining events are just some of the enviable benefits to which members of the Anthonij Rupert Wine Club are entitled.
