Description
O lindo in Portuguese means “The Beautiful”, just like the Nymph reaching for the stars on the etiquette.
This wine was crafted from the centuries old Madeiran grape, Verdelho, originating from the Island of Madeira, just off
the North-Western Coast of Africa and called Olindo, epitomising the beauty in wine and a fresh, youthful innocence.
This wine shows an abundance of fresh melon & perfume on the nose, followed by aromatic
bitters and bay leaf on the palate. There is fresh acidity, yet a rich roundness and body.
Producer Profile
Bruwer Raats founded Raats Family Wines in 2000, and since then has narrowed his focus on Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, with only one blend, The Jasper Red blend. He believed that specialising would lead to success, and this belief was not unfounded, as today, Raats Family Wines is regarded as a leader of South African Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Raats has received consistent local and international accolades and was named Winery of the Year for the 2018 Platter’s Guide with 5 out of 6 wines achieving five-star ratings. As Neal Martin says, ‘Cabernet Franc does not get better than at Raats’.
