The Story

Experience the distinctive character of Raka Figurehead, a sophisticated Cape blend that artfully combines all five Bordeaux varieties with a generous 15% Pinotage. This dry red wine reveals complex aromas of raspberries, blackcurrant, and spicy eucalyptus, leading to a palate rich with herbaceous black olives, ripe tannins, and warm spice. Meticulously crafted with hand-picked grapes and aged in French oak barrels, it offers a memorable drinking experience.
