RAKA Figurehead
A Tribute to Bold, Full-Bodied Flavour
Tasting Notes
RAKA Figurehead is a rich and complex red blend from South Africa’s Western Cape. With a deep ruby hue, this wine greets the senses with aromas of dark fruit, cassis, and hints of smoky oak. The palate reveals layers of ripe blackberry, plum, and subtle spice, rounded out by structured tannins and a long, smooth finish. Composed of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 15% Pinotage, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, and 3% Malbec, this full-bodied wine is bold yet balanced, making it a memorable choice for any occasion.
Perfect Serve
This wine is the ideal companion for grilled meats, lamb stews, or dishes with hearty sauces. It also pairs well with strong, aged cheeses, making it versatile for a range of dining experiences.
Artisan Craftsmanship
RAKA Figurehead is crafted with a blend of carefully selected grapes from the coastal vineyards of South Africa’s Western Cape. The combination of grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques brings out depth and complexity in each bottle, capturing the unique essence of the region.
