Rupert & Rothschild Classique Description
Rupert & Rothschild
A Promise Rooted in Partnership
Two Families Two Worlds
The Partnership
In the autumn of 1997, a truly prestigious pair – the late Dr Anton Rupert of South Africa and the late Baron Edmond de Rothschild of France – came together to establish Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons, and in so doing, fulfilled a shared vision. A dream to create iconic South African wines of exceptional quality, sealed with a promise to uphold an unwavering dedication to precision, and perfection. Today, the next generation of the Rupert and Rothschild families stand as the gatekeepers to their fathers’ legacy.
The Rupert Family
Dr. Anton Rupert
An internationally respected industrialist and founder of a global business empire, Dr Anton Rupert was also held in high regard as a committed conservationist. Together with his wife, Huberte, he played a significant role in the preservation of art and the cultivation of world-class Franschhoek wines.
The Rothschild Family
Baron Edmond De Rothschild
More than a century after his great-grandfather purchased a now-acclaimed Bordeaux estate, Baron Edmond de Rothschild followed in his footsteps and embraced the world of wine. Driven by a desire to craft rare, special vintages that set their own standards, he added to the family’s wine property portfolio over many years, acquiring vineyards on outstanding terroir in France, Argentina, New Zealand, Spain and South Africa.
