About this Item

Cabernet Franc, 2009
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Specialising in Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc, Raats Family Wines was established by Bruwer Raats at the turn of the millennium. He believes the secret to his Cabernet Francs success is that they are old vines grown on decomposed dolomite granite. This belief was not unfounded, as today, Raats Family Wines is regarded as a leader of South Africa’s Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, receiving consistent local and international accolades. Early vintages are elegant, refined and still remarkably young today.

From the majestic 2009 vintage, this wine is pure class.

Critics Ratings

‘Tobacco leaf & black cherry, handsome 2009 has an intriguing baked earth note & mineral finish adding to its attraction, individuality. Built for a distinguished 8+ year future, youthful tannins are accessible but firm, will integrate over time.’  Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5*
