Tantalise the senses with a new wine pairing experience at Anthonij Rupert Estate

The poetic pairing of Shiraz and charcuterie has long been celebrated, and notably so at Anthonij Rupert Estate in Franschhoek, which will host the annual Shiraz & Charcuterie Festival for the third time this year.

Anthonij Rupert Shiraz & Charcuterie Pairing

This scrumptious social calendar highlight will take place on the sprawling lawns of the Anthonij Rupert Tasting Room on Saturday 26 May 2018.

This year, in conjunction with the festival, the estate also introduces the brand new ‘Shiraz & Charcuterie Pairing’, which will be presented in the comfort of the Terra del Capo Tasting Room. This latest bespoke offering joins the much-loved Italian Cheese & Wine Pairing, as well as the L’Ormarins Methodé Cap Classique & Nougat Pairing.

Charcuterie’s salty, aromatic flavours and sweet, rich fattiness are naturally complemented by the typically bright acidity, bold fruitiness and spiciness of outstanding Shiraz wines - a partnership which this tasting experience aims to highlight. The Shiraz & Charcuterie Pairing presents three of the estate’s Shiraz wines, respectively from the popular Protea, terroir-driven Cape of Good Hope and flagship Anthonij Rupert ranges, accompanied by three expertly-sourced Italian charcuteries - Napoli salami, Coppa and Parma ham.

The pairing will be available as of 1 May, from Tuesday to Sunday, at a cost of R120 per person. The estate operates on a ‘By Appointment Only’ basis, so pre-booking is essential. For more information and reservations, contact 021 874 9074 or email tasting@rupertwines.com.
