Raats Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc 2014 (75cl)

A red wine from Raats Family Wines, made from Cabernet Franc grown on cooler, southern-facing slopes in Stellenbosch. The vines range from 18 to 25 years old and are unirrigated, on decomposed dolomite granite soils. The 2014 vintage followed a cold, wet winter and spring, with a long, cool growing season and below-average yields. The wine was handpicked, hand sorted three times, cold soaked for five days, basket pressed, and aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. It was bottled without fining or filtration.
