Stellenbosch Vineyards Limited Release Cinsault 2020 per Case

Background:

Symbolizing the ultimate philosophy of our winemaking team, this Cinsault epitomizes elegance, grace, and reward. Crafted from 29-year-old bush-vine Cinsault in the Helderberg area, it represents a Limited Release from Stellenbosch Vineyards.

Rediscovering Cinsault:

Colloquially known as Hermitage in South Africa, Cinsault has experienced a renaissance in recent years. Recognized for its integral role in the great Stellenbosch red blends of the past, it thrives in warmer climates, finding a home in New World wine-making countries like Australia and South Africa.

What to Expect:

This wine bursts forth with aromas of red fruits and spicy fynbos undertones. On the palate, it offers a rich, succulent fruitiness complemented by earthy notes and a vibrant tannin structure that is light yet promotes aging.

Food Pairing:

Perfectly suited for hearty traditional South African dishes and Mediterranean cuisine, this wine enhances any dining experience.

Aging Potential:

While enjoyable now, this wine will benefit from bottle aging for three to five years, allowing its flavors to evolve and mature.
