We are thrilled beyond words! Following last week's Top 100 SA wines announcement, where Raka Wines secured three spots under the Top 100 SA Wines for the Raka Pinotage, Raka Quinary and Raka Biography Shiraz, we have received even more fantastic news. Raka Biography Shiraz took home three additional esteemed awards:
- Red Wine of the Year Award
- Grand Cru/Best in Class Award
- Wine Consistency Award
This achievement is a testament to our teams hard work and dedication. Our Shiraz journey began in 1999 with our first vineyards and maiden vintage in 2002. Since then, we have expanded our plantings, now cultivating 11 hectares of Shiraz, with the latest planting in 2022. Each block adds its unique character to our Biography Shiraz. Every vintage adds a new chapter to the Raka legacy.
The story behind our Biography Shiraz is that patriarch Piet Dreyer's 36-year commercial squid fishing career gave way to a new passion: Winemaking. His transition from fisherman to wine producer inspired the creation of our Biography Shiraz, a true story of family and tradition.
We are thrilled and grateful for this recognition. We hope you are as proud as we are. Cheers to many more milestones to come!
