67 Mvemve Raats De Compostella 2009 750ml 3 (1 x 3) R6 000 – 8 000 PROVENANCE Wine Cellar ITEM NOTES Mvemve Raats, or MR for short, is a collaboration between Bruwer Raats and Mzokhona Mvemve. De Compostella, meaning ‘field of stars’, is their icon with an international reputation for being a stellar Cabernet Franc-driven Bordeaux blend, that ages with grace. It is one of the finest red wines in South Africa. ‘Alternates between powerful & elegant, intense cherry/berry notes supported by seamless tannins & hints of spice. Equal Cab franc, Malbec & sauvignon, dashes petit Verdot & merlot, made to last.’ Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2013, 5 stars ‘One of South Africa’s finest wines and should repay considerable cellaring. Go seek and marvel.’ Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 96/100
