Product information "Raats Vlag Cabernet Franc 2022"

The Raats Vlag Cabernet Franc is a new creation from the winery. The grapes come from the Vlaeberg Mountains, the highest point of the Polkadraai Mountains. In the past, farmers used to hoist coloured flags here to signal to passing ships on the spice route that new goods were needed in the port of Table Bay. With this modern expression of Cabernet Franc, Raats has now symbolically hoisted a flag to show what the winery has to offer - with success. Inviting aromas of blueberries and blackberries tantalise the senses, as do hints of rose petals and exotic spices. On the palate, the notes of dark fruit are accompanied by liquorice and cedar. The silky smooth texture and fresh acidity harmonise beautifully. Soft tannins and gentle hints of dark chocolate and vanilla lend complexity and elegance to this full-bodied red wine. Enjoy the expressive Raats Vlag Cabernet Franc, which has matured for sixteen months in French oak, with dark meat, pasta or savoury dishes. But the red wine is also a real treat on its own.

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.
