Raka Rosé 2024

The Raka Rosé is a vibrant and alluring wine, boasting a captivating nose of strawberry, cherry, and rose petals, with hints of candy floss and white pepper. The palate is a masterful balance of rich, fruity flavors  crushed strawberry, prunes, and red jelly - complemented by a refreshing crispness, a hint of lemon zest, and a subtle sweetness. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering aftertaste that leaves you wanting more

Served well chilled, this wine is well suited to any seafood, pasta and cold meats. Also delightful on its own!

The wine was allowed to naturally clarify under gravity prior to filtering and bottling.
