Raka Malbec 2021

A fragrant Malbec with plums, blackberries and cassis and a smoky tone on the nose. The same fruit flavours carry through on the palate and the plum makes for juicy and jammy tannins complimented by well-integrated oak with a lingering 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 inocculated. The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day and manual punch downs done for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained off the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine’s transfer to a combination of 225 litre barrels of French oak types (25% New)
