Classique | Range | Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons
A wine that brings people together, this widely sought-after red blend matches distinctive quality — an ability to consistently delight — with an alluring openness. It invites you in, uplifts, welcomes with charm and composure.
It is not an easy or commonplace feat to craft a wine that both stands apart and so seamlessly serves a part in so many a story and gathering. For Rupert & Rothschild, the Classique is this wine – it is distinctly elegant and considered, unforgettably round and smooth, but born to complement, born to be relatable. A truly memorable Merlot-driven blend, named for its classic character, and the way it so faithfully honours its elements.
