About this Item

Mvemve Raats
De Compostella, 2009
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Mvemve Raats, or MR for short, is a collaboration between Bruwer Raats and Mzokhona Mvemve. De Compostella, meaning ‘field of stars’, is their icon with an international reputation for being a stellar Cabernet Franc-driven Bordeaux blend – with all the trophies to prove it. It stands today as the highest rated Bordeaux-styled red wine from South Africa by the Wine Advocate and was lauded by Neal Martin as ‘one of the most memorable wines in the world’. It was also named one of the Top 10 Reds from South Africa for 4 consecutive vintages in US publication Wine Spectator.

Critics Ratings

'Alternates between powerful & elegant, intense cherry/berry notes supported by seamless tannins & hints of spice. Equal Cab franc, Malbec & sauvignon, dashes petit Verdot & merlot, made to last.’  Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2013, 5*            

'One of South Africa’s finest wines and should repay considerable cellaring. Go seek and marvel.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 96/100
