Raats Family Chenin Blanc 2008
by Bruwer Raats

  • Bruwer Raats Family Chenin was the first Chenin to get over 90 points in Wine Spectator and has done so for 4 consecutive vintages!
  • Honeyed pear, butterscotch and citrus flavours combine to give a rich, intense wine. Treat yourself and try it with Duck L'Orange....a match made in heaven!
  • La pièce de résistance from an acclaimed winemaker and vineyard

"I did not choose winemaking, winemaking chose me. I remember picking grapes in 1992 in Stellenbosch, and I was so happy, I knew that if I became a winemaker I would feel like a king. I believe in sustainable farming. This means that whatever I do, I try and leave the soil in a better condition than when I found it. I have realised, however, that whatever techniques you use as a winemaker, none have such a big impact on the process as having a positive energy in the vineyard and in the cellar (one of my key points!). It's vital that everybody you work with focusses on making a unique and special wine, rather than applying fancy and clever techniques."

A good Chenin Blanc, but a bit overpriced for what it is.

Too good. Once it's open on a summers day...it slips away!

Very pleasant and drinkable. However the flavour, taste and texture were not as pronounced as I had anticipated. Not great value for money in my book.
