Tasting Note

Exceptionally intense and complex on the nose with blackberry, black cherry and bramble in abundance and subtle hints of forest floor, dark chocolate, aniseed and spicy tobacco. The walk in the Black Forest continues with blue and blackberry dancing on a tight rope with focus and concentration, following through onto a perfectly balanced, fine-grained, velvety palate. The finish lingers with hints of fresh mint, cinnamon and perfume. Complex and structured.

Product Notes

Raats Family Wines Red Jasper is a premium South African wine that offers a unique and exquisite taste. This deep red wine is crafted using 100% Cabernet Franc grapes that are grown on granite soils. The nose is intense with aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and tobacco. On the palate, this wine has a full body with firm tannins and flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of coffee. This wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels which adds complexity and depth to the wine. This wine is perfect for sipping on a special occasion or pairing with rich meats like beef or lamb.

About the Winery

Raats Family Wines

The Raats Family winery, founded in 2000 and situated in the picturesque Polkadraai Hills of the Stellenbosch winelands, was first a collaboration between the siblings Bruwer and Jasper Raats. Their father, Jasper Senior, served as a viticulturist throughout the winery's early years but tragically passed suddenly in 2009, leaving Bruwer Raats to carry on the family tradition. In 2010, Bruwer named his cousin Gavin Bruwer as winemaker and viticulturist, assuring that the winery's development would continue to be successful and kept within the family. Founder Bruwer Raats of this famous winery has maintained his concentration on two types since 2000 because he thinks that specialising would help him succeed. This assumption is the truth today. The Raats Family Wines is now recognised as a pioneer in South Africa's Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, consistently winning local and international acclaim.
