Raats Prima Nova Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
About the wine
The first ever single varietal Cabernet Sauvignon from Bruwer Raats
- Cabernet Sauvignon is the most planted variety in Stellenbosch so when Bruwer got enough Crush votes, he naturally chose to make this... This is his dream wine.
- This wine is as elegant as it is powerful. Beautiful bursts of red and blackberry flavours balanced by dark chocolate and subtle spices.
- Pair this wine with lighter meats, a fillet instead of a ribeye. It's a gentle giant and you don't want to overpower the elegance.
