Raka Malbec 2009

The nose reveals plums, roasted coffee and forest floor flavours. On the palate baked blueberry muffins with lovely plummy, salty finish.

about the harvest: All grapes were hand picked and sorted in the vineyards.

in the cellar : 
A second berry sorting was done in the cellar, before a pure yeast culture was inoculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained of the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 225 litre barrels of French oak types (25% new).
