Rupert & Rothschild Baron Edmond 2018 75cl

Rupert & Rothschild Baron Edmond 2018 75cl is the flagship red wine of Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons, created as the crown of the range and named in tribute to Baron Edmond de Rothschild. The estate itself was established in 1997 through a partnership between Dr Anton Rupert and Baron Edmond de Rothschild, bringing together South African terroir and French wine heritage in one ambitious project. That background is important, because Baron Edmond was conceived in the image of a classic Bordeaux blend, but with a distinctly South African identity.

At Oaks & Corks, this is a superb choice for anyone looking for a premium South African red wine with Bordeaux inspiration. It is refined enough for a dinner table, impressive enough for gifting, and serious enough for cellaring. The producer states an ageing potential of 10 years from vintage, so Baron Edmond 2018 should continue to reward careful storage while already drinking beautifully for those who enjoy mature, composed reds.

Tasting Notes

Rupert & Rothschild’s own tasting notes describe the 2018 as showing nuances of blueberry, plum and violet, underpinned by subtle oak spice and cedar, with classic complexity and a focused, silky texture that lingers on the finish. In broader producer material, Baron Edmond is also framed as a stately, dignified Bordeaux-style blend, built around elegance rather than sheer power. Expect a full yet polished palate, fine tannins, layered dark fruit and a long, composed finish.
