The 2021 growing season was notably cool and extended, allowing for slower ripening, excellent flavour concentration and naturally balanced acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"354\" data-end=\"791\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003eAnthonij Rupert Wines has become known for combining modern cellar precision with a classical, age-worthy approach to winemaking. The fruit for this wine was hand-harvested, naturally fermented using wild yeasts and matured for 24 months in French oak barriques, followed by extended bottle ageing before release. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that leans toward elegance and structure rather than sheer power, showing both immediate polish and strong long-term ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1379\"\u003eDeep ruby red with a dense garnet core and youthful purple edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1365\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1445\" data-end=\"1686\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1457\"\u003eComplex aromas of cassis, black cherry and dark plum are layered with cedar, tobacco leaf and earthy spice.
