Raats Family with Bruwer Raats
July 1 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
R350Raats Family, known for Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. A desire to be the best. A dream for family to work together. Since 2000, Bruwer Raats dedicated his life to mastering these two varieties, believing that specialisation would lead to success. The belief was not unfounded, as today, Raats Family wines is regarded as a pioneer and the leader in crafting these two varieties, receiving consistent local and international accolades.
With his cousin Gavin Bruwer Slabbert joining the family business in 2010, this dream of family working together, sharing the passion for crafting fine wines was realised, always believing that together we can achieve more. Today the family business is deep-rooted with Bruwer Raats’ sons also working on the farm. Samuel Raats in the vineyards and cellar along Gavin and Bruwer and Joshua Raats in the marketing team.
MR De Compostella
Two visionary winemakers & lifelong friends, Mzokhona Mvemve & Bruwer Raats, had a meeting of minds to combine their artistry to create a singular wine that transcends time. MR de Compostella was born inspired by a constellation of stars merging together to create something spectacular. A wine driven neither by style nor variety but by its leading component, quality, they take the very best of each variety in each vintage to create an ultra-premium wine of distinction.
MR Vesperi
After a 21-year wait, the maiden vintage Mvemve Raats Vesperi white blend was released last year, named after “the evening star” in Latin. Inspired by the great white blends of Bordeaux, the Vesperi includes a little local South African flavour in the form of 41% of Chenin Blanc to accompany the 37% Sauvignon Blanc and the 22% Semillon portions harvested from seven individual plots grown on decomposed Granite soils in the Polkadraai Hills ward.
