Blend: 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec

In the glass it shows a deep ruby-to-dark plum colour and delivers a complex bouquet of dark fruit such as blackberry, black cherry and cassis, enhanced by spice, cedar and subtle oak notes from barrel maturation. On the palate it is full-bodied, dry and well-structured with rich, concentrated dark fruit flavours, integrated oak, silky yet grippy tannins and a long finish that may show hints of leather and spice.

Serve at 16-18 Deg.

Pair it with hearty dishes such as grilled or roasted red meats (beef, rack of lamb), game, venison, stews, rich sauces and mature hard cheeses.

Enjoy now and will cellar well for another 7 years.

Raka Sauvignon Blanc

Willem Van Zyl — Wed, 13 Jul 2022 07:39:50 +0000

A light crisp refreshing wine. We have four blocks of Sauvignon blanc on both north and south facing slopes. The soil ranges from decomposed sandstone, shale, and sand. Each block is harvested and vinified separately, then blended for a fruity wine with green undertones.

Pairs well with BBQ pulled pork -the sweetness of the pork contrasts nicely with the wine’s tannins, creating a delightful balance.
