WHY IS IT SPECIAL?
  • Coastal Terroir: The Kleinrivier region (Overberg) enjoys cool sea breezes, which help preserve freshness and purity in the Malbec.
  • Low‑intervention Winemaking: Raka’s hands‑on, family‑run approach and gravity‑flow cellar contribute to a wine that is expressive, focused, and true to site.
  • Value with Character: Though not a high‑end collectable, this Malbec offers strong varietal character and quality at a very accessible price, making it a smart addition for both everyday wine enjoyment and moderate ageing.

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: The wine shows a deep violet hue, opening with plum-like aromas and juicy cherry fruit. There are soft floral notes, and as it breathes, subtle hints of vanilla and darker fruit emerge.

Palate: On the palate, Raka Malbec is smooth and plush, with gentle dark‑berry flavours, soft tannins, and a round, lush mouthfeel. The fruit is forward but balanced by a delicate oak or vanilla note.

Finish: The finish is soft and lingering, leaving a memory of ripe fruit, gentle spice, and a touch of plush acidity — very drinkable and elegantly structured.

Product details

Raka is a family-run estate located in Stanford, in the Kleinrivier Ward of the Overberg wine region. Their Malbec is made from grapes grown in these coastal, sea‑influenced vineyards, giving the wine both intensity and elegance.

Cellaring Potential: This Malbec is best enjoyed now to within 4–6 years, depending on vintage and storage. While it’s not crafted for ultra-long ageing, a few years in the cellar will help soften its tannins and deepen the fruit character.
