Baron Edmond - Rupert & Rothschild

The Baron Edmond by Rupert & Rothschild from the South African wine-growing region of Stellenbosch is an excellent, harmonious and expressive red wine cuvée vinified from the grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. 

In the glass, this wine shimmers in a rich purple color with dark red highlights. The nose is skillfully entered by a seductive bouquet. Fruity aromas of raspberries, black currants as well as plums present themselves and are perfectly complemented by vegetal hints of nettle and fresh coriander. On the palate, this South African red wine convinces with wonderfully silky tannins, which are underlined by notes of cranberries and dark chocolate. The long finish rounds off this wine perfectly. 

Vinification of the Rupert & Rothschild Baron Edmond

By hand, the grapes are harvested in Stellenbosch in early February to late March. Once the grapes arrive at the winery of Rupert & Rothschild, the berries are fermented in wooden vats and stainless steel tanks. During this process, the grapes remain on the skins for 16 to 20 days. 

Finally, this wine rounds off harmoniously for 18 months in new French oak barrels (225 liter barriques).

This dry red wine from South Africa is a wonderful companion to pan-fried fillet of meat with porcini mushrooms and roasted asparagus or to roast beef in red wine jus. Before enjoying, this wine should be decanted for at least 1 hour.
