Mvemve Raats
In 2002 Bruwer Raats combined his quest for mastery with winemaker and lifelong friend, Mzokhona Mvemve, and Mvemve Raats was born. Inspired by a constellation of stars merging to create something spectacular. A wine driven neither by style nor variety but its leading component, quality, we take the very best of each variety in each vintage to create an ultra-premium wine of distinction. Guided by the pursuit of excellence, every vintage marks the start of a new challenge. “MR is a wine based on passion and friendship, a desire the be the best. A wine driven by quality and consistency” Mzokhona Mvemve
Description
The 2022 MR de Compostella is a barrel selection from all five varieties, which are assessed blind and undergo trial blends. Those chosen blends are then evaluated against the previous five vintages. This has a gorgeous bouquet, quite understated at first, opening with red fruit, briar and a touch of wild rosemary mixed with potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, tensile and brimming with energy. A touch of black pepper and brown spices emerges as this fans out wonderfully toward the slightly wet stone mineral finish.
Food Pairing
Well-aged sirloin / Rib-eye or Filet mignon / Hard cheeses
