It is "Special" because of its Artisanal Approach—the grapes are hand-sorted and fermented in small batches with manual punch-downs, ensuring a level of care usually reserved for wines twice its price point.REVIEWS/AWARDS

RUPERT & ROTHSCHILD BARON EDMOND
R795,00Why is it Special?
What makes Baron Edmond special is its Dual Heritage. It represents the meeting of two winemaking philosophies: South African terroir and French "Savoir-faire." It is "Special" because it is a Wine of Restraint; while many high-end reds chase high alcohol and extraction, Baron Edmond focuses on perfume, balance, and poise. It is a "Blue-Blooded" red that offers incredible ageing potential, often developing complex secondary notes of forest floor, tobacco, and truffle over 10 to 15 years in the cellar.
