Description:
Cinsault is a wine of contrasts. Incredibly fruity and jammy-ripe, it finishes with a subtle complexity that intrigues and lingers on the tongue. Shy-bearing and miserly in its harvest, we first satisfy our need for this grape in blends, like the proprietary L. Preston or Guadagni Jug. We celebrate our rare opportunity to bottle a varietal Cinsault wine and relish its explosion of cherry, cedar, and sandalwood.

Varietal Definition
Cinsaut/Cinsault:
Semi-classic grape widely grown in southern France and also in the Lebanon. Used as component in some Cotes du Rhone red wine blends. Transplanted to South Africa, where it was erroneously thought to be a Rhone Hermitage grape, and now a widely grown varietal making a popular red wine in that country, it is also often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon. It has also been used to create the hybrid grape species known as Pinotage.
