TSW Cinsault

ABOUT

Hand picked from 25-year-old dryland bush vines on Malmesbury shale, heavy clay content, decomposed shale and decomposed granite soils. Harvesting took place from the middle of February to the end of February. 70% destemmed, 30% whole bunch and naturally fermented in open top fermenters. Malolactic fermentation took place after primary fermentation. The wine was matured in a combination of Stainless steel and 5000L French oak for approximately 10 months. No fining of the wine.

A youthful punch of raspberry and blackberry fruits on the nose with a delightfully spicy touch and subtle hints of earthiness. The bright fruit combines well with the crisp acidity and continues on the harmonious and medium-weighted palate. A youthful and delicious wine.

100% Cinsault, 12.5% abv, Screw Cap, W.O. Swartland.
