A wine created with utmost standard, making the new vintage of (MR) de Compostella takes a massive feat of precision winemaking, organoleptic assessment and the painstaking process of blending.
The grapes for this wine are sourced from small and low-yielding parcels within Stellenbosch. Each block is vinified separately, and Raats and Mvemve go through a blind tasting of these wines after 12 months in barrel. Rating every parcel on a 100-point scale, they discard any below 90 and create the final blend using descending percentages based on the ratings. The top-scoring components comprise the largest portion of the final blend.
This wine is made in exceptional vintage, too. Due to unsatisfying quality, Raats and Mvemve have decided to skip the 2019 vintage, and therefore today, we are hugely excited to welcome the return of this tremendous label. Greg Sherwood MW rated 2020 highly; he even considers the newly released 2020 vintage is the “most iconic release to date”. Awarded it a stupendous 98pts, he lauded this a “bold, enchanting, characterful wine full of precision”.
Thoroughly a world-class Bordeaux blend, Neal Martin also supports Sherwood’s judgement with an impressive 97pts. Martin described it as a “tremendous wine” with “effortlessly pure black cherry, boysenberry and raspberry fruit” and “seamlessly interlaced” oak nuance.
Never made with exactly the same blend in any two vintages, the 2020 is a classic Cape Bordeaux assemblage of 30% Cabernet Franc, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 16% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot with a total production of only 1,000 x 6. The wine displays a real intensity in the glass with a ruby red rim and a red / black plum heart. The aromatics are vibrant and fabulously perfumed, bursting from the glass with expressive notes of red and black berry fruits, black currant, raspberry, red and black cherry, before notes of earthy blueberry emerge with suggestions of pressed violets, lavender, sweet sandalwood, star anise and graphite spice. On the palate, the vintage’s regal elegance emerges with exhilarating acids framing the plush opulent red and back berry fruits, saline cassis, tart red cherry and a blueberry confectionary generosity. Tasting the wine with Bruwer Raats, inevitable comparisons were made to the iconic 2017 MR, with both wines sharing a beautifully bright acid freshness and a weightless concentration of pure berry fruits with only the slightest suggestion of vanilla oak spice. This really is a wine with a mixed palette of colours, flavours and fruits and the most seamlessly elegant, finessed velvety tannins. Following on from the 2018 blockbuster, with no 2019 MR produced, this 2020 is a bold, enchanting, characterful wine full of precision that trumpets the return of this incredible benchmark Cape classic. A breathtaking wine on so many levels. Drink from 2024 to 2045+.

The 2020 MR de Compostella is a blend of 30% Cabernet Franc, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 16% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot matured in 1st, 2nd and 3rd fill barrels for 24 months. It has a stunning nose with effortlessly pure black cherry, boysenberry and raspberry fruit, seamlessly interlaced with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with an intense opening, layers of red fruit, spicebox, cracked black pepper and graphite. There is a huge structure to this Compostella but with immense salinity and finesse on the finish. It will need three to four years in bottle, but it is a tremendous wine (again).
