History
Rupert Rothschild stems from the prestigious partnership formed in 1997 between the Rupert family of South Africa and Baron Edmond de Rothschild, who joined forces in 1997 around a single goal; to produce a South African wine of world-class renown. Today, Rupert Rothschild is an internationally recognised premier wine brand. A luxuriously elegant and classical brand that underpins a winemaking philosophy of excellence and craftsmanship.
