Cinsault also known as Poor Man’s Pino truly reflects the versatility of this underrated variety! 

This wine is made in classic Beaujolais style 40% whole bunch and one punch down a day to allow for softer extraction. The wine was fermented spontaneously to showcase the site and variety then aged in concrete egg to keep the core tight with 15% aged in an old 500L oak barrel. The wine should be served slightly chilled and allowed to warm up in the glass to open up and express itself.

Tasting Notes: The wine shows notes of cinnamon spice, cherries raspberries and brambles. The tannins are soft and velvety with a great acid to give some great mid-pallet tension resulting with a long juicy finish.

Food Pairing: Think anything on the braai, but if wanting more fun - Samosas & Cape Malay foods, Warm Fennel & Pomegranate Salad, Duck Pâté and springbok fillet
