About

In 2016, Johann Rupert agreed to sponsor the Old Vine Project and André Morgenthal and Jaco Engelbrecht were appointed after both having been informally involved with the project for some years. The “Cape of Good Hope” project tells a story of our land, culture and history through the vinification of some of the oldest vines in the Western Cape.

Product Features

• Award: 91 Points Tim Atkin.
• Fermentation by indigenous and selected yeast occurred in both stainless steel tanks (52%) and French oak (10% new). 
• The wine spent 12 months on the lees before being blended and bottled.
• An attractive whiff of elderflower underpins a rich, bold sundried fruit melange of mango, pineapple, peach and apricot.
• The palate more than delivers what the nose promises: rich, rounded and multi-dimensional.
• That ripe tropical fruitiness is balanced by fresh acidity making for a poised mouthful overall.
• There is a gentle note of freshly-squeezed orange and an alluring creaminess to the palate. 
• Ample vibrancy, life and poise ends with a long, memorable tail.
• Enjoy with salmon or scallops.
