Raka Quinary

The Raka Quinary is an impressive South African red wine cuvée with multiple international awards. With its classic Bordeaux composition of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, this wine combines structure, maturity and elegance in an expressive overall picture.

In the glass, the Raka Quinary has a deep, ruby-red brick color. The nose is multi-layered with spicy notes of cassis, leather and fine roasted aromas. On the palate, the wine is dry, elegant and full-bodied, with red berry fruit and a subtle spicy note. The finish is characterized by leathery nuances and grippy, grainy tannins that give the wine depth and potential.

All grapes were harvested by hand and cold macerated for 4 days after selection before fermentation began with selected yeast cultures. During fermentation, the wine was intensively pumped over and punched down to extract the color, tannin and aroma in the best possible way. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matured for 12 months in French oak, with new and multiple barriques providing a balanced wood aroma.

The Raka Quinary is an ideal accompaniment to rack of lamb, fillet of beef, game dishes or mature hard cheese. Its structure and spiciness also make it a perfect wine for hearty braised dishes or convivial evenings with fine cuisine.

Raka Pinotage
The Raka Pinotage is a distinctive red wine from South Africa that reveals the full potential of this unique grape variety. At the Raka winery, which is located at the foot of the Kleinrivier in the Walker Bay region, a Pinotage is vinified with great care and experience that impressively combines power, elegance and South African terroir.In the glass, the Raka Pinotage is a deep ruby red with purple reflections. An intense aroma of dark berries and ripe fruit unfolds on the nose. There are also hints of red cherries and vanilla with an oak aroma that rounds off the wine.The grapes for the Raka Pinotage are selectively harvested by hand and fermented at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures for several months in French barriques - an ageing process that gives it structure, depth and elegant roasted aromas without masking the fruit. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern cellar technology makes the Raka Pinotage an expressive representative of its kind.The Raka Pinotage is an ideal accompaniment to hearty meat dishes such as grilled lamb, game ragout, beef steaks or spicy BBQ ribs. It is also a delightful partner to mature cheeses and dark chocolate.

Raka Figurehead
The Raka Figurehead seduces with a multi-layered bouquet of dark fruits such as plum, mulberry and blackcurrant, complemented by earthy notes from the forest floor and a fresh hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine is juicy and full-bodied, supported by aromas of red and black fruits, elegant wood notes and a fine spiciness that lingers on the long finish.This complex cuvée is made from a careful selection of fine grape varieties from the renowned Klein River Ward wine-growing region in South Africa. The grapes were all harvested by hand to ensure the highest quality.In the wine cellar, the grapes were carefully sorted and fermented with pure yeasts. Maceration lasted five days, during which the must was pumped over the skins 3-5 times a day and the cap was punched down to maximize depth of colour and aromatics. After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation took place, followed by a short resting phase. The red wine then matured for 12 to 14 months in 225-liter French oak barrels before being blended, bottled and labeled.Raka Figurehead is an excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes such as roast beef, lamb and game, as well as mature hard cheeses and mushroom dishes. For an optimal taste experience, we recommend a drinking temperature of 16-18 °C.
