What a snappy, earthy iteration of this grape. Sure, you’ll find some crunch red fruits, but this wine seems a little more on the twiggy and dusty side (at least compared to other South African Cinsaults). A darker, more brooding tone. Endorse.

Dry and delicate. Black tea and spice and smoke. I'd serve this one slightly chilled.

Great nose and initial taste. Kind of a weird musky finish

An interesting and unique wine, which is 100% Cinsault and naturally fermented. 2014 vintage with the throw back label. Very cool wine to try for the adventuresome, if you can find it!
