Behind

The Wine

Sporting Wine Club is honoured to be the stockist of the Jean Roi Rosé in the UK on behalf of Rupert Wines, a Cinsault, Grenache and Shiraz premium blend. Jean Roi and L’Ormarins Wine Estate are rooted in the original history of the wine industry of South Africa and we are proud to part of that narrative.

Discover our

Sporting Connection

Johann Rupert, owner of the Rupert Wine Estate, has deep, long term links with sport, not just rugby but also golf, and their values fit so well with the ethos of Sporting Wine Club. As well as being Chairman of Richemont, the parent company to Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, Johann has also done much to advance the values and wider potential of sports in society.

He played a pivotal role in founding the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation in 1990, which harnesses the power of sports to improve the lives of disadvantaged young people around the world, and co-founded the Sports Science Institute at University of Cape Town. A former cricketer and accomplished golfer himself, he was inducted in 2007 into the South African Sports Hall of Fame and in 2009 into the South African Golf Hall of Fame.

Exlporing the

Vineyard

Riebeeksrivier farm is situated on the slopes of the Kasteelberg, over-looking the Swartland towards iconic Table Mountain. Its unique terroir, especially the shale soils, expresses itself strongly in the wine with unique varietal characteristics. The vines for this blend are all planted on south facing slopes at elevations of 350 – 400m above sea level. The Cinsaut and Grenache bushvines were planted in 1990 and 2017 respectively, and the higher density échalas trellised (vines trained on its own wooden stake) Shiraz vineyard was planted in 2011.

The Winemaker

I have known Simon Halliday for many years and am happy to support him in his efforts with the Sporting Wine Club. The values emanating from wine, sport, charity and friendship sit well together and we wish SWC every success with our Jean Roi. We are very proud of this creation and we hope that you all enjoy it.
