Information about "Anthonij Rupert Optima 2020"
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.

Die malolaktische Gärung erfolgte in französischen 225 l - Barriques, in denen die Weine separat 20 Monate lang reiften (30 % Neuholz). Anschließend verschnitten, wurde die fertige Cuvée für weitere sechs Monate in Barriques ausgebaut und anschließend abgefüllt. Als einer der wenigen Erzeuger bringt Rupertwines die Weine erst auf den Markt, wenn sie trinkreif sind, deshalb lagerte auch der Optima zunächst noch 24 Monate in der Flasche, ehe er zum Verkauf angeboten wurde.
