South African Cinsault. Orginallly from the Rhone Valley region, France. South African Cinsault is proving a force to be reckoned with and popular in Europe and the USA. Think Pinot Noir esque yet more red fruits on the flavour profile.

Grapes were harvested by hand before the bunches were destalked. Whole berries were fermented in stainless steel fermentation tanks. During the fermentation process pump overs were done twice a day to ensure delicate tannins. Fermentation was then completed in older barrels. The wine was matured a further 8 months in barrels before racked for bottling.

The wine shows delicate flavours of ripe cherries, olives and peppery spice as well as a hint of Turkish Delight. Despite its delicacy, the palate is firm and concentrated with fine dry tannins.

An extremely versatile food wine that compliments everything from shellfish to white meats and on to aged cheeses.
