Raats Dolomite Cabernet Franc 2022

Product information "Raats Dolomite Cabernet Franc 2022"
The Raats Dolomite Cabernet Franc scores highly with its wonderful aroma of red fruit. Flavours of raspberries, plums and cherries pamper the senses. On the palate, the nuances of red berries are surrounded by lingering notes of spices and herbs. Mineral undertones add the finishing touch to the Raats Dolomite Cabernet Franc. The red wine matures for fourteen months in French oak and leaves the connoisseur with a velvety soft finish. Serve the wine with game or dark meat in a fruity sauce or enjoy it with a nice cheese platter. But the Raats Dolomite Cabernet Franc is also a delight on its own. Incidentally, the red wine owes its name to the granite soils of the vineyard that provided the grapes for this complex wine.

Raats Family Wines - a family affair

Raats Family Wines is a family-run winery and is known above all for its exceptional wines of the Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc grape varieties. In 2000 Bruwer Raats founded the Raats winery in Stellenbosch together with his brother Jasper. Since then, the mission has been to create extraordinarily good South African wines and to establish them internationally. Today Raats is run by Bruwer Raats and his cousin. It has meanwhile developed into a top winery in the South African wine world and enjoys a high international reputation.

Raats wine highly praised by John Platter

The quality of the Raats Family wines also convinced wine critic John Platter. No less than five wines received the highest award in the John Platter Wine Guide 2018 and the Raats Winery achieved an unprecedented success. This achievement by the winemakers was rewarded with the title “Winery of the Year".

Raats Family Wines on the march

A very special creation is the flagship of the winery. The MR de Compostella is a red wine blend from the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc grape varieties and was developed by Bruwer Raats and his long-time friend Mzokono Mvemve. In addition, there has been an innovative range since 2014. The Raats BVintners wines are characterised by the special origin of their grapes. The winemaking team uses grapes purchased here that come from special regions and clearly show their origin in the wines. With these trend-setting creations, the Raats Family Wines winery is broadening its horizons and offering a comprehensive range with the right wine for every occasion.
