Discover the acclaimed Raka Quinary, a sophisticated Bordeaux-style blend from the Klein River Ward. The name “Quinary” means “consisting of five,” referencing the five classic Bordeaux varietals used here. Winemaker Josef Dreyer expertly crafts this full-bodied, complex red wine. The blend is typically Cabernet Sauvignon-driven, offering incredible structure and ageing potential.
You will find a deep ruby brick colour in the glass. The nose immediately presents inviting aromas of cassis and leather. Subtle spicy notes also feature. The palate is elegant and dry, echoing the nose with concentrated red berry fruit and spice. This wine features a smooth, rich mouthfeel and silky, well-integrated tannins.
The Raka Quinary consistently receives top ratings. The 2021 vintage earned Double Platinum and was named a Top 100 SA Wine at the National Wine Challenge. It also achieved Double Gold at the Michelangelo Awards and 91 Points from Gilbert & Gaillard. This is a benchmark South African blend. Pair it beautifully with grilled red meat, venison, or hearty stews.
