Description
Org de Rac is much more than organic – more than vineyards, wine, lavender, rosemary, olives and no words for the fantastic view and beautiful surroundings. Up close and personal you’ll discover a true green heartbeat at the foot of the Piketberg, embracing the Swartland with a free spirit, living an organic dream and a biodiverse philosophy and constantly striving for balance between nature, people and business. Org de Rac symbolises creation, conservation and respect for the virgin soil which belongs to tomorrow. Our approach at Org de Rac stems from a deep respect and commitment to the natural environment, the people involved in making our wine and the people who will finally enjoy our wine. The result of our organic farming methods is a harvest of grapes that is raised in healthy soil, fertilized by living, organic compost and that was never sprayed or exposed to any form of chemical pesticide, herbicide or fungicide. (Read more about our Sustainable Farming Methods here). These organically produced grapes are then taken to our cellar and made into wine according to strict principles and controlled practices, before being bottled, labelled and matured right here on the estate. Org de Rac absolutely adheres to organic winemaking techniques with low sulphur additions – resulting in a more natural, healthier wine on your table. The delicious range of healthier wines of superior quality and taste that ends up in your glass was therefore grown and made to the highest modern standards and with the utmost respect for the earth, its people and above all, for you – the discerning wine lover who cares.
ORG de RAC Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
ORG de RAC Tasting Note
The exclusive organic reserve range is grown on the south-facing slopes of Piketberg Mountain where specially selected vines yield grapes of great distinction. Thanks to meticulous cellar practices every wine in the range is an aristocrat in its own right. The wine rewards with generous blackberry flavour harmoniously supported by undertones of vanilla and spice that linger on the palate.
Wine of The Month Tasting Note
Deep ruby; distinctive varietal aromas of smoked beef, black plum and whiff of tobacco. Full-bodied and dry; carefully crafted jewel-bright flavours of red berry and dark plum, clean-cut tannins to match.
