Raka Malbec is bottled in limited quantities and only vintages when quality is outstanding. Malbec is a Bordeaux grape variety. It is extremely popular in Argentina as it pairs so well with red meat.
Bouquet and Palate: Aromas of plum, pomegranate, raspberry and underlining earthy, forest floor notes on the nose. An elegant wine that follows with more fruit and juicy oak tannins on the palate
Style: Dry red wine
Cellar Technique: All grapes were hand picked and sorted in the vineyards. A second berry sorting was done in the cellar, before a pure yeast culture was inocculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day and manual punch downs done for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained off the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wines transfer to a combination of 225 litre barrels of French oak types. (25% New)
