Anthonij Rupert —
Franschhoek between history and craftsmanship
The Anthonij Rupert wine estate lies in the Franschhoek valley, nestled between the slopes of the Groot Drakenstein — one of South Africa's most picturesque wine regions. The estate's history dates back to the 17th century, when the Rupert family acquired the property and significantly shaped the winemaking tradition of the area.
In 2005, Johan Rupert took over the estate completely and named it after his late brother Anthonij—a personal gesture that continues to define the winery's character. Since then, the business has undergone fundamental modernization: cellars, vineyards, and philosophy have been redefined without losing sight of the site's long history.
The wines reflect the terroir of the Franschhoek slopes: cooler locations, volcanic soils, and Atlantic influences provide structure and freshness. Whether Bordeaux blends or single-varietal bottlings, the Franschhoek line represents meticulously crafted South African wines that combine depth with approachability.
