Experience the bold, highly concentrated character of the Raka Petit Verdot, an artisanal red wine from South Africa’s Klein River appellation. Winemaker Josef Dreyer meticulously crafts this single-varietal wine in very limited quantities. The estate hand-picks the grapes to ensure only the highest quality berries reach the cellar. This attention to detail results in a wonderfully rich, expressive wine with magnificent complexity and structure.
South Africa’s respected John Platter Wine Guide consistently recognizes the superb quality of this exceptional label. The esteemed guide awarded the Raka Petit Verdot a prestigious four-star rating. Wine enthusiasts will discover a gorgeous, deep plum color that catches the light beautifully in the glass. The inviting nose reveals vibrant aromas of fresh cherries, cranberries, violets, and white pepper.
A rich, concentrated palate displays layers of juicy dark fruits balanced by a robust, dry tannin finish. Aging in French oak barrels adds subtle spice and structure to this elegant red wine. This stellar vintage pairs beautifully with hearty roasted lamb, venison, or wild mushroom risotto. Enjoy this premium bottle now or cellar it for several years to develop further complexity.
