Rad Red

Seared tuna, melanzane, dim sum, red meat. Or just whenever you feel like having great wine with your meal.

Cape Collective – The Wrapper Series, started as a 2020 lockdown export project by wine marketers Janneman Solms and Dane Raath. A cheeky, colourful, upscaled solution to the “Prohibition Brown Paper Bag”, Jan put his design skills to use, collabing with Dane to market and sell them through their few decades of wine industry connections. Wines are made by high ranking winemaking friends in the industry according to what the duo sees as gaps in various markets. The brand aims to draw in both wine snobs, geeks and wine newbies in an approachable and passionate manner.

After fermentation, the wine matured for 8 months in neutral oak barrels before the careful bottling phase.

The composition of this wine comprises 56% Pinotage, 25% Pinot noir and 19% Cinsaut. Grapes were meticulously hand-harvested, 35 % retained as whole bunches and the rest destemmed followed by spontaneous fermentation process.
