Raats Family Cabernet Franc 2016 75cl

They say this is a sexy, luscious Cabernet Franc that is the definition of elegance! We do not think they are wrong! 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 chocolate and minerality on the long finish. A wine gently crafted with great love, and to be enjoyed the same way.

Grapes were hand sorted three times, crushed and left to cold soak on the skins for five days. After fermentation the grapes are basket pressed and allowed to undergo malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks and then aged for 12 to 18 months before bottling. Neither fined nor filtered. Fermentation Temperature: 28°C

Food Pairing:
Enjoy this elegant yet powerful wine best paired with rich meat dishes, pork loin, beef fillet or game.
