Raats Red Jasper is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and more which results in an exceptionally intense and complex wine with aromas of blackberry, black cherry and bramble that reminds you of walking through a forest in August, as well as inviting hints of dark chocolate and tobacco. It's concentrated, balanced and the tannins are fine-grained and velvety. The finish lingers with hints of fresh mint and cinnamon. Deliciously autumnal.

Bruwer Raats is a gentle giant of a man and his reputation is starting to match his stature. His mastery of chenin blanc and cabernet franc is bringing him praise from around the world as "the most exciting and forward thinking winemaker" in Stellenbosch.

As part of the new wave of South African winemakers, Bruwer crafts soil specific wines that embody the unique characteristics of the region. With hand harvesting, whole bunch pressing and using natural fermentation without fining or filtering it helps him create wines that are world class.

From trellissed and bush vines averaging 21 - 28 years old grown on 100% decomposed dolomite granite soils. Grapes were hand sorted three times, crushed and left to cold soak on the skins for five days. After fermentation the grapes were basket pressed and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged for 16 months prior to bottling. Fermentation Temperature: 28°C. 16 months in French tight grain oak barrels (20% second, 30% third fill and 50% fourth fill). Oak Treatment Time: 16 months Type: French % wine oaked: 100 % new oak: None
