An Iconic Expression of Stellenbosch Terroir Crafted from an ultra-low-yielding, high-density single vineyard in the Polkadraai Hills, the Raats Eden Cabernet Franc 2022 is the pinnacle of precision winemaking by Raats Family Wines. This highly exclusive release showcases the purest expression of Cabernet Franc—100% varietal, grown on decomposed dolomite granite soils and hand-harvested for optimum quality. On the nose, expect an intricate tapestry of dark berry fruit, Morello cherries, and floral hints of violets, interwoven with subtle notes of star anise and ground fennel. The palate is both poised and powerful—linear and precise, yet wonderfully elegant—delivering concentrated layers of black fruit and a signature mineral edge that lingers long after the last sip. Elegant now, with the structure to age beautifully over the next 10+ years, this world-class wine has earned its place among South Africa’s finest. Ideal for pairing with refined dishes such as venison loin, beef filet with red wine jus, duck breast with plum sauce, or even ostrich carpaccio. Limited allocation. A wine for collectors, connoisseurs, and memorable occasions.
