Product information "Anthonij Rupert Optima 2017"
The Anthonij Rupert Optima ensnares the nose with a complex and inviting bouquet of blackcurrants, blackcurrants, fragrant violets and lush earthy nuances. On the palate a sensationally silky and smooth drop opens up with delicious flavours of dark berry fruit, Christmas plum pudding, fragrant cigar box and lovely spices. Wonderfully balanced and graceful with good backbone and fine smoothness. Oak wood notes are perfectly integrated and rounded and end in a long and pleasantly soft finish.

The malolactic fermentation took place in French 225 l barriques, in which the wines were matured separately for 18 months (35% new wood). Then blended, the finished cuvée was matured in barriques for another six months and then bottled. As one of the few producers, Rupertwines does not bring the wines to the market until they are ready to drink, which is why the Optima was also initially stored in the bottle for 24 months before being offered for sale.
