mehrere Informationen

The Raka Biography Shiraz presents itself in a glass of deep purple-red colour and exudes incredibly seductive aromas of white pepper, dried herbs and coriander with deliciously juicy hints of black and blue fruits. These aromas can also be found on the silky and full-bodied palate, paired with nuances of taste of lush dark plum, pepper and subtle earthy nuances. A wine of great structure, full body and a well-regulated harmony between tannins and acidity. The finish is incredibly elegant and persistent, leaving a pleasant and delicious aftertaste of red plum. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

Before the yeast cultures were added to the mash, the grape material was sorted twice with great care. The juice was recirculated 3-5 times for 5 days and after the first fermentation it was filled into a resting tank. The malolactic fermentation took place in French and American oak. The wine then matured for 12 months in French barriques (25% new wood).
