Fable Raptor Post 2019 ( Case of 6)

Description

A Case for the Connoisseur

Sourced from the rugged, biodynamically farmed slopes of Fable Mountain Vineyards, the Raptor Post 2019 is a wine of place. The Tulbagh region is famous for its extreme “diurnal shift” (hot days and freezing nights), which gives this wine its signature freshness and longevity. By purchasing this case of six, you are securing a vintage that is currently in its prime drinking window but possesses the structure to age beautifully over the next several years.

The Blend & Craftsmanship

Fable Mountain uses a “low-intervention” approach to ensure the mountain terroir isn’t masked by heavy processing:

• The Syrah Core: Provides the dark fruit and characteristic black pepper spice.

• Grenache & Mourvèdre: Add layers of bright red cherry and an earthy, savory complexity.

• Winemaking: Hand-harvested and naturally fermented. The wine is aged in a combination of older French oak and concrete eggs to maintain a silky, refined texture without overpowering wood flavors.

Why Stock a Case of Raptor Post?

• Consistency: The 2019 vintage was an exceptional year for Tulbagh reds, showing a perfect balance of fruit ripeness and “crunchy” acidity.

• Versatility: This is a “gastronomic wine.” Having six bottles on hand means you have the perfect partner for everything from a casual Sunday roast to a formal herb-crusted lamb dinner.

• Evolution: Open a bottle now to enjoy its youthful energy, and leave the remaining bottles to develop more complex notes of leather and forest floor over the next 36 months.
