Old vine Cinsault from South Africa’s ‘of the moment’ Swartland region. Relatively low in alcohol, medium in body, lively acidity, bright and fresh – what’s not to like. This is a wine that is made for the modern drinker – light and bright, but not lacking for flavour.
Although this particular bottle was consumed in the middle of winter, it would make a perfect red wine for drinking in the summer months.
