Raats Original Chenin Blanc 2011
About the wine
Wine Advisor's Top Tip
- Extraordinary that such a delicate, finely honed white with power, grace and elegance could come from a man mountain such as Bruwer Raats, one of South Africa's top winemakers.
- Think apples, think crispiness, think large platters of scrumptious sea-food to match.
- Don't just take our word for it. "Bruwer's entry level wine now carries so much class and granite-soaked minerality that it would be anyone else's flagship Chenin Blanc. Ignore it at your peril." Matthew Jukes' Top 50 from Cape Wine 2008
