Raats Family Red Jasper 2017
About the wine
Bruwer's explosive Bordeaux blend is back and it's better than ever
Bruwer is one talented chap, bringing Angels an explosive Bordeaux blend without the eye-watering Bordeaux price tag.
- 2017 was an exceptional vintage, with temperatures letting the grapes ripen slowly so they burst with both colour and flavour. The juice was then aged to perfection in plush French oak barrels.
- Intense, velvety, beautifully balanced and chock full of black fruits, spices and dark chocolate aromas. This big South African red is the perfect one to sip and savour.
