Description
A bright, juicy, and effortlessly drinkable blend, Cinsaut Grenache 2023 from the Western Cape delivers a fresh and fruit-forward expression of these two Rhône-inspired varietals. Light ruby-red in colour, it bursts with red cherries, wild strawberries, and hints of spice, complemented by delicate floral and earthy notes. The palate is silky and vibrant, with soft tannins and a refreshing acidity that makes it incredibly versatile and easy to enjoy, whether lightly chilled or at room temperature.
History and Winemaking
The Western Cape of South Africa is home to old-vine Cinsaut and Grenache, thriving in the region’s sun-drenched vineyards and cooling ocean breezes. These grapes are naturally suited to minimal-intervention winemaking, resulting in a wine that is pure, expressive, and bursting with character. Fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness, this blend showcases the bright fruit of Cinsaut and the depth of Grenache, offering a style that feels both modern and rooted in tradition.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of red cherries, strawberries, and raspberries, with hints of floral rose petals, subtle spice, and earthy undertones. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with juicy red fruit, soft tannins, and a crisp, refreshing finish.
Pairings
A versatile and food-friendly red, Cinsaut Grenache 2023 pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast duck, or spiced Mediterranean dishes. It also complements charcuterie, tapas, or soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert. Try it lightly chilled on a warm day for an extra-refreshing experience.
