Information about "Raka Biography Shiraz 2022"
The Raka Biography Shiraz captivates with its deep violet-red hue and an alluring bouquet characterized by herbaceous and spicy notes, harmoniously intertwined with luscious impressions of red cherries and blue fruits. This aromatic profile is echoed on the palate, where a silky texture meets full-bodied richness, complemented by nuances of smoked meat, leather, and chocolate-mocha. With an impressive structure and a well-balanced interplay of tannins and acidity, it delivers an elegant finish that is both smoky and lingering, leaving a delightful aftertaste of red plum.
The fruit was meticulously sorted twice before yeast cultures were added to the mash. The juice underwent pumping over three to five times daily for five days and was then transferred to a resting tank post-primary fermentation. Malolactic fermentation occurred in both French and American oak, with the wine aging for 12 months in French barriques (25% new wood).
