Description
In a nutshell:
Elegant and expressive, this South African old Cinsault is all about bright red fruit, soft spice, and a beautifully smooth finish.
The lowdown:
Cinsault might not be the most famous grape in South Africa, but this old-vine beauty makes a good case for why it should be seen a bit more. Grown on gnarly old, dry-farmed bush vines tucked away in hidden corners of the Cape, it's bright, fresh, and full of character. Juicy pomegranate and crunchy cherry fruit take centre stage, with a crisp acidity keeping things lively. There's a little savoury, gamey depth too, giving it extra intrigue. Elegant and expressive, it shows that there are some worthwhile Cape reds flying under the radar.
The Producer:
Boutinot has been part of the South African winemaking scene since 1994, originally drawn by a love of Loire-style Chenin Blanc. Since then, they've branched out in all sorts of directions. Their winemaking team - JD Rossouw and Ryno Booysen - bring the energy and enthusiasm, while Samantha Bailey adds a touch of finesse. It's a mix of knowledge, nature, and a bit of science, all coming together to create a versatile and expressive range of wines in a country with 360 years of winemaking history.
When to drink:
A quick chill brings out the best in this lightish red. Uncork it alongside a sizzling stir-fry or something with duck - its refreshing character makes it a perfect partner for these flavourful dishes.
Suitable for Vegans
