The Blue Sky Theory

“Just remember if you look out the window Gary, it’s blue sky. If you go for it, no-one’s going to stop you.” - Oom Pietie Theron.
Gary Baumgarten is a big man, in every sense, he fills a room. Fitting, given his BIG job. As he explains his career working 16 years as a wine chemist at KWV, 16 years with Graham Beck, and now 10 years with Johann Rupert at Anthonij Rupert Wyne as Managing Director, it seems the blue sky theory served him well. The theory being: If you get the chance, go big. Anthonij Rupert Wyne is the perfect example. A sprawling enterprise, encompassing six properties around the Western Cape, thoughtfully curated, farmed, and maintained to produce top South African, terroir-specific wines. These six properties produce six very distinct wine ranges, each with its own story, and ethos. From sparkling to premium red to old vine wine to Armagnac to Eau de Vie and even a premium Rosé, Anthonij Rupert Wyne shows a great range of expression in keeping with the diversity and potential of South Africa’s terroir. I said BIG right?
