Bottled in a flint(see-through) bottle to show-off it\u2019s beautiful colour and made to enjoy in Spring and Summer, slightly chilled. I\u2019m a massive fan of Cinsault and believe it\u2019s something we do very well in the SA sunshine and especially when given some love here in the Breedekloof valley. It\u2019s juicy, generous with red fruit flavours and has just a touch of grip and tangy presence on<br \/>\nthe palate from the 50% whole bunch fermentation. This was matured in large old French oak casks to add depth, not oak flavour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAIRS WELL WITH<\/strong><br \/>\nStew l Moroccan Lamb l Smoked Salmon<\/p>\n<p><strong>WINEMAKING<\/strong><br \/>\nThis 100% Cinsault is a first of its kind.<br \/>\nEasy drinking with a fresh and zippy palate. Half of the grapes were whole bunch pressed to extract tannins and colour.<br \/>\nThe wine spent 10 days on the skins and were transferred to old French oak barrels for 12 months.<br \/>\nAn exquisite wine with a hint of delicate fynbos spice.
