Founded on the farm L’Ormarins in the Franschhoek Valley, Rupert Wines today encapsulates six distinctive wine brands, among them the Protea Range, made from some of the finest sites in the Western Cape, South Africa.Â
The ethos of the Protea range rides in the back of sustainability, i.e. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. This a range consisting of everyday drinking wines, bearing the name of South Africa’s national flower, illustrating the diversity of the range and commitment to the viticultural area where this floral species flourishes. Each of the bottles is decorated with a bespoke pattern inspired by the Cape, making the bottle, like the wine an art piece in itself. The best part about this is that the label on the bottle can be peeled off, leaving you with a beautifully ornate bottle that can be reused or repurposed for a variety of decorative functions!
Tasting note:
Protea Rose is a blend of Mourvèdre 41% Cinsaut 29% Grenache 21% Carignan 5% Syrah 4%. Vibrant pale coral and light salmon hue on display with this delightfully refreshing rosé. Orange citrus notes of grapefruit and tangerine are apparent, with fresh-cut watermelon, wildflowers, and lemon zest playing a supporting role. The delicate palate is clean and refreshingly dry, with more of the same watermelon and citrus fruit adding sweetness and balance to the long finish.
