Sourced from the rugged, biodynamically farmed slopes of Fable Mountain Vineyards<\/b>, 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.<\/p>\nThe Blend & Craftsmanship<\/b><\/h3>\n
Fable Mountain uses a “low-intervention” approach to ensure the mountain terroir isn’t masked by heavy processing:<\/p>\n
