Information about "Raka Figurehead Cape Blend 2019"

The Raka Figurehead Cape Blend is a drop that speaks for itself, with a sensational price-performance ratio! Deeply dark in colour in the glass, this red is incredibly strong with vibrantly spicy fruit. From the Pinotage unfold wonderfully fruity nuances in the finish, the palate is caressed by delicious black currant flavours and a touch of fine spices and herbs, which provide a great complexity.

Treatment in the cellar

During fermentation in open steel tanks, the juice was pumped over the skins three to five times daily for five days, ensuring a thorough extraction. Malolactic fermentation took place in French 225 L barrels, where the wine aged for 12 to 14 months before blending and bottling.
