Raats Family Cabernet Franc 2019

R837.00

Region: Stellenbosch

Tasting note:

The nose entices with its perfume and a garrigue character of Cape fynbos, rosemary, lavender and thyme with spicy notes of nutmeg, cloves and star anise. Intense brooding blackberry fruit, graphite and a streak of minerality add to the complexity of the nose.

Food suggestion:

Rosemary rubbed grilled lamb chops or leg of lamb, tarragon chicken, duck breasts with cassis and raspberries, venison with blackberry sauce, flourless chocolate cake.

Since 2000, the founder of Raats Family Wines, Bruwer Raats, has kept his focus on the Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc grape varieties, in the belief that specializing would lead to success. Today, Raats Family Wines has received local and international accolades for their wines. With Gavin Bruwer joining Raats’ side in 2010, their business has continued to flourish.

Based in the wine-making capital of Stellenbosch, Bruwer, Mzokona Mvemve (fellow winemaker and longtime friend) Gavin’s wine-making is rigorous, focusing on the quality of grapes, soil, climate, topography and human skill.All grapes were grown only on decomposed dolomite granite, which gives a great acidity and freshness to the wine and adds minerality to the finish. Individual vineyard blocks were each hand-picked at perfect ripeness the last week in February till the first week in March.
