Raats Family Estate 'Jasper Red Blend' 2021/22
Aging potential: This wine is poised to evolve gracefully over the next 8 to 10 years, revealing new layers of depth and character with each passing year.
Blend information: A harmonious blend comprising 53% Cabernet Franc, 36% Malbec, 5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Petit Verdot, meticulously crafted to achieve balance and complexity.
Food suggestions: Pair this wine with venison dishes, lazy-aged sirloin or rib-eye steaks, or indulge in its complexity alongside a selection of hard cheeses for a truly memorable dining experience.
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. Wood Ageing: 16 months in French tight grain oak barrels (20% second, 30% third fill and 50% fourth fill).
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.
