Description

Zesty and expressive, this cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc bursts with bright lemon and grapefruit peel, balanced by a flinty, mineral edge. The palate is electric—crisp citrus fruit meets vibrant acidity in perfect harmony, all grounded by a subtle leesy texture that adds body and length. A vivid, structured white from the high-altitude Altima vineyard that showcases purity, poise, and elegance in every sip.
Grown in the high-altitude vineyards of Elandskloof, this Sauvignon Blanc is hand-harvested at peak ripeness. After skin contact and cold settling, the juice ferments slowly in stainless steel, preserving purity and vibrancy. A short spell on fine lees adds depth and texture to the wine’s vivid citrus, gooseberry, and flinty mineral character.

Winemaker: Dawie Botha
Anthonij Rupert Wyne was founded on the farm L’Ormarins in Franschhoek. Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert, who passed away in 2001, the farm was taken over by his brother Johann Rupert in 2003.

It was Johann Rupert who constructed a state-of-the-art winemaking facility on the estate, and the beginnings of what was to become a sprawling enterprise with a focus on terroir specific wines.

About the Winery

Location

Overberg, South Africa

Overberg, South Africa

Stretching beyond the Hottentots Holland Mountains toward South Africa’s southern coastline, the Overberg is a landscape of dramatic contrasts. High mountain vineyards, cool inland valleys and windswept maritime sites give winemakers access to an unusually varied collection of terroirs. In the cooler pockets, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir develop vivid fruit, natural acidity and fine aromatic detail. Warmer, drier sites can produce compelling Syrah and Mediterranean varieties with spice, structure and savory depth. This diversity makes Overberg wine difficult to reduce to a single style - and that is precisely its appeal. Explore wines from the Overberg to experience one of the Cape’s most adventurous regions, where small vineyards and distinctive sites are producing some of South Africa’s most individual wines.
