"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."

I was very suprised by this. I often neglect whites altogether but after a couple of glasses with Jo last night the Raats will always have a place in my future orders. 5 stars!

Lovely nose of fresh apples and quince. Palate is unctuous and not cloying and the acidity zips the wine across the tongue well. The finish is long and refreshing.
