Jasper Red Blend 2022
€25,00
Description
The Jasper Red Blend 2022 is named in honour of founder Bruwer Raats’ late father, symbolising heritage, family and dedication. Sourced from the granitic slopes of the Polkadraai Hills, this blend is built around Cabernet Franc, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
Raats Family Wines is known for its meticulous vineyard work and minimal-intervention philosophy, allowing the terroir to speak clearly. The 2022 vintage reflects this perfectly: ripe fruit harvested by hand, gentle extraction in the cellar and careful maturation in oak to enhance finesse rather than dominate.
Picture opening this bottle during a relaxed yet elegant dinner. The dark ruby colour shines in the glass, aromas rise with clarity and complexity, and each sip offers a seamless balance of freshness, structure and layered fruit — a true expression of modern South African winemaking.
Tasting notes
Nose: Bright red and black fruit — cherry, plum and blackcurrant — with notes of violet, graphite, cedar and gentle baking spice.
Palate: Medium- to full-bodied with refined tannins, lively acidity and a core of juicy dark fruit supported by savoury undertones and subtle oak.
Finish: Long, polished and elegant, with lingering fruit, mineral tension and fragrant spice.
