Description
This bush vine Cinsault originates from Paarl. The grapes were harvested at 23 balling, hand sorted to remove some died berries. The grapes were then 50% de-stemmed and 50% whole bunch fermented. Fermentation accrued naturally and took two weeks to ferment. The shins were then pressed off with a 1 ton basket press. The wine was sent to 400L and 225 L old oak barrels for aging for 11 months.
