The vineyards sit on mainly decomposed granite soils, which tend to give whites with good natural acidity and a quietly mineral backbone. The cellar philosophy is low-intervention and detail-focused: modest scale, a strong connection to specific vineyard blocks and a preference for honest, food-friendly wines over polished, commercial styles. Raised by Rain fits into this approach – typically a more artisanal, naturally inclined white, often from older vineyards, with gentle handling, ambient ferments and a light touch on oak where used. The aim is to capture texture, subtlety and a sense of place rather than loud fruit or sweetness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour:\u003cbr\u003ePale to medium straw with a light golden tint, bright but slightly deeper than simple, tank-only whites, hinting at some lees work or skin contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose:\u003cbr\u003ePear, yellow apple and soft stone fruit lead, with lemon peel and a hint of grapefruit. There are gentle layers of florals, a touch of beeswax or lanolin and a savoury, almost nutty edge from lees contact or old oak, giving more complexity than a straightforward fruity white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate:\u003cbr\u003eMedium-bodied with a rounded, slightly waxy texture and fresh but not sharp acidity. The palate shows ripe pear, baked apple and white peach, balanced by citrus pith and a subtle herbal or fennel note. The wine feels dry and quietly layered, with the weight and savoury detail to work well at the table. Oak, if present, is discreet – more about shape and texture than flavour. Overall, it feels calm, grounded and more about nuance than showiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish:\u003cbr\u003eMedium to long, with lingering stone fruit, lemon pith and a gentle, savoury almond or waxy note.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Meye Wine Estate","offers":[{"title":"Red Dry \/ Red","offer_id":45097775661235,"sku":"RW2128BB39","price":230.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/5195\/9731\/files\/RW2128BB39.jpg?v=1762215257","url":"https:\/\/www.wineofthemonth.co.za\/products\/de-meye-raised-by-rain-2021","provider":"Wine of the Month","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
