Anthonij Rupert wines launches The Cape of Good Hope Range.

A range created in recognition of the Cape of Good Hope's vinous heritage which stretches back more than 350 years to when the first Governor planted grapes. This range heralds utterly unique sites of ancient vines and pays tribute to those souls who have accepted their role as stewards of this remarkable vine and wine legacy. The wines are the result of these irreplaceable parcels of old vines being preserved and speak of an inheritance of terroir, climate, soil, aspect and grape variety. The labels reflect not just the grape variety but the place of origin and the singular characters behind them.

Anthonij Rupert acquires their neighbouring farm, Graham Beck in Franschhoek.

"The late Graham Beck was a friend of over thirty years. We had been neighbours for decades and he offered us the opportunity to acquire the land adjacent to L'Ormarins some time ago. As a farmer it is generally accepted that if, during your lifetime, the neighbouring farm becomes available, you are very fortunate." Johann Rupert, owner of the Anthonij Rupert wines group.
