Crafted amidst the vine-clad hills of Stellenbosch, the Jasper Red Blend 2022 stands as a testament to the artistry of Raats Family Wines. This vintage is a symphony of flavours, an ode to the winery's commitment to excellence.
Tasting Notes: Exceptionally intense and complex on the nose with blackberry, black cherry and bramble in abundance and subtle hints of forest floor, dark chocolate, aniseed and spicy tobacco. The walk in the Black Forest continues with blue and blackberry dancing on a tight rope with focus and concentration, following through onto a perfectly balanced, fine-grained, velvety palate. The finish lingers with hints of fresh mint, cinnamon and perfume. Complex and structured.
Blend information: A harmonious blend comprising 49% Cabernet Franc, 35% Malbec, 3.5% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3.5% Petit Verdot, meticulously crafted to achieve balance and complexity.
Food suggestions: Pair this wine with venison dishes, lazy-aged sirloin or rib-eye steaks, or indulge in its complexity alongside a selection of hard cheeses for a truly memorable dining experience.
This wine simply gets better and better every vintage. Well done Bruwer! Greg Sherwood MW, 93/100
