Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert, who passed away in 2001, the farm was eventually taken over by his brother Johann Rupert in 2003 and the brand named after him. It was Johann Rupert who constructed a state-of-the-art winemaking facility, catapulting the farm into a prestigious wine estate and the beginnings of what is now a sprawling enterprise. The focus is on terroir specific wines
and therefore it would seem obvious that the brand is made up of an impressive portfolio of farms representing the best in grape producing locations. The portfolio is made up of L’Ormarins situated in Franschhoek, Rooderust in Darling, Riebeeksrivier in the Swartland and Altima in isolated Elandskloof. Individually each site offers optimum varietal specific growing conditions, allowing Anthonij Rupert Wyne to adhere to the requirements of their different brands. VISITING THE ESTATE(BY RESERVATION ONLY):
The Anthonij Rupert Wyne Estate also houses two tasting rooms, each dedicated to one of our popular wine ranges:
The Terra del Capo Tasting Room, situated at the entrance to the property, was designed to showcase ourItalian-inspired Terra del Capo range. Wine tasting here is a relaxed, indulgent experience in elegant surroundings. Guests have a bird’s eye view of the activity in the cellar through a glass wall, as well as panoramic views of the vineyards and mountains. Below the tasting room is an antipasto bar, perfect for a quick lunch of freshly prepared local ingredients. The private tasting room can accommodate up to 18 guests, and is ideal for larger parties. With its traditional Cape Dutch architecture, the Anthonij Rupert Tasting Room features beautiful wood beam ceilings, yellowwood floors and spacious entertainment areas. The Cape of Good Hope and Anthonij Rupert wine ranges may be enjoyed here at leisure.
