Tasting Note

A sexy, luscious Cabernet Franc that is the definition of elegance. Harmoniously integrated flavours of blackberry, black cherry and plum mingle with tobacco, cinnamon and spice. Tannins are soft and gentle on the palate, and hints of dark choclate and minerality on the long finish. A wine gently crafted with great love, and to be enjoyed the same way.

Product Notes

Raats Family Wines Cabernet Franc is a red wine with a rich and full-bodied taste, hailing from the Stellenbosch region of South Africa. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes, this wine has a deep ruby colour and displays aromas of dark berries, black cherry, and hints of spicy oak. On the palate, the wine shows impressive layers of dark fruit and savoury notes along with firm tannins and a well-balanced acidity. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant finish. Raats Family Wines Cabernet Franc pairs well with red meats, hearty stews, and mature cheeses.

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.
