Product information "Raats Family Cabernet Franc 2020"
The Raats Family Cabernet Franc is a highly endowed top wine from vines that are over 20 years old! Intense and expressive aromas of black olives, herbaceous fynbos, sun-kissed mulberries and fragrant gingerbread spice enchant the nose. Blackberries, graphite and fine mineral notes complete this complex and exciting bouquet. These aromas, already sniffed by the nose, continue seamlessly to the full-bodied and lush palate and end in a long and wonderfully lingering finish.

Harvested by hand and sorted three times, the grapes were crushed and left on the skin for 5 days. After fermentation was completed, the grapes were transferred to the traditional basket press. The malolactic fermentation took place in steel tanks, after which the wine matured for 18 months in French barriques (25% new wood).
