Product information "Rupert & Rothschild Classique 2017"
The Rupert & Rothschild Classique ensnares the nose with inviting aromas of dark fruit and fragrant pencil shavings as well as with fine earthy notes. A classic Bordeaux-style cuvée with a smooth, soft texture and delicious nuances of aromatic spices, tea leaves and dark chocolate, which end in a long and smooth finish. It is recommended to decant the wine before drinking.

The grapes for the Rupert & Rothschild Classique were harvested by hand and selected with the greatest care for the further production process. Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with extended periods on the skins.

Eleganter Rotwein
Komplexer Rotwein Schöne rote Farbe Früchte, Holz und Schokolade an der Nase Samtig am Gaumen mit langem Nachhall Oder wie der Südafrikaner sagt, lekker
