Winemaking process:
Old bush-vine Cinsault from Stellenbosch is fermented as whole bunches with wild yeasts in large wooden vats, gently foot-trodden and kept on the skins for about a month. It then finishes in older 600-litre French oak barrels for about 12 months. Cinsault is a parent of Pinotage, and this wine is meant to be served slightly chilled.
Vinoteka's note
Cinsault from 30–35-year-old bush vines on a biodynamic estate above False Bay, where seven draught horses work the vineyards. Whole bunches, foot-trodden and fermented with wild yeasts, then about 12 months in old 600-litre barrels. Vibrant red fruits with a savoury, fynbos finesse; ripe black cherry against cranberry freshness and taut acidity. Serve lightly chilled with duck, rack of lamb or spicy charcuterie.
“An extravagantly perfumed nose with notes of red cherry, strawberry, rose and herbs.”Christian Eedes, Winemag · 90 / 100 · 2023
