Case of Raka Petit Verdot

Appearance: Dark plum colour

Bouquet & Palate: Red berries - cherry and cranberry - on the nose, violets and white pepper. The palate is rich with darker fruits and a dry tannin finish.

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)
