The Raka Quinary is a classic Bordeaux cuvée with a wonderful bouquet of red berries, blackberries and fragrant forest soil. These delicious aromas are also found on the palate, paired with a hint of fragrant spices and well integrated oak wood in the background. Dense, harmonious, complex and earthy-fruity with silky tannins - a real treat for the palate. The finish is dense and soft. Another wine from Raka of exceptional quality!

The hand-picked grapes were sorted twice before they were crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. For five days, the juice was pumped over the mash cake between three and five times a day. When fermentation was complete, the young wine was drained into a resting tank where malolactic fermentation took place. It then matured for 12-14 months in French barriques, 25% of which were new wood and the remainder second, third and fourth.
