At the foot of the spectacular Simonsberg mountain in the Franschhoek Valley lies the historic French Huguenot farm Fredericksburg which was established in 1690 and is now home to Rupert & Rothschild Vignerons. This prestigious partnership in wine production was formed in 1997 under the leadership of Dr Anton Rupert and Baron Edmond de Rothschild. Both men later relinquished the reigns to their respective sons: Anthonij Rupert and Baron Benjamin de Rothschild. Following the passing of Anthonij Rupert in 2001, his older brother Johann Rupert and sister Hanneli Rupert-Koegelenberg assumed his position.

Rupert & Rothschild produce three distinct wines; a single varietal Chardonnay; Rupert & Rothschild Baroness Nadine, named after the wife of Baron Edmond; a flagship Bordeaux blend; Rupert & Rothschild
