Anthonij Rupert - South Africa's iconic winery

Anthonij Rupert

In 1984, Anthony took over the management of LOrmarins from his father and restored the farm and the historic cellar (dating back to 1799), which were declared national monuments. After that, his son Anthony took over the management of the winery and in 1989 LOrmarins won all the major local wine competitions. In 2001, Anthony Rupert tragically died and Johann Rupert took over the company. In 2005, Anthonij Rupert builds the cellar.

A state-of-the-art gravity-flow cellar with a revolving ceiling and an underground wine barrel aging cellar, completed in memory of his brother. In the same year, he employs internationally renowned oenologist Michel Rolland as a consultant to the Anthonij Rupert team, resulting in the first vintage of Anthonij Rupert wines released in 2009. Since the first vintage, all wines from this winery have consistently scored 90 points or higher in Wine Spectator magazine's ratings.
