<\/p>\n
Atkin awarded 90-point ratings or higher to 17 wines from the Anthonij Rupert portfolio, confirming the winery\u2019s commitment to producing exceptional wines of quality and consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He sampled a total of 2 205 wines from 419 wineries during his 11th annual overview, and he was highly impressed by the quality of the wines he tasted this year, particularly the vintages of 2017 to 2021, with special mention of the 2017 vintage, which he believes deserves to be placed among the best ever harvests. The 2021 vintage was not far behind, especially when it came to white wines, of which he felt the best examples had remarkable energy and vivacity with a long life ahead of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
