The Wine

Country of origin:

South Africa

Region:

Coastal Region

This is a wine we selected from the 2021 vintage. It is simply the very best vat of Cinsault from the harvest. We decided to bottle it as a single wine, rather than blend it with other varieties or components, such was the deliciousness of the red berry fruit concentration, the lovely soft tannins and the slight crunch to the finish that keeps it all in balance and ensures that your palate is kept engaged and ready for your next sip. A slippery red that can be enjoyed at room temperature or with the edge taken off by popping in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving.

Having cut her teeth in a host of top winemaking jobs, Nadia is now one of the top winemakers in the esteemed Perdeberg Group, where she gets to weave her magic over the Coastal Region's enviable array of top-notch, dry-farmed fruit.

"I select parcels of Cinsault and then vinify them separately to give us plenty of scope in the winery. It also allows for the very special vats to be bottled as they are. This is one of them!" - Nadia Engelbrecht, Winemaker.

Never given a one star review for any Virgin wine but we are really not impressed with this one at all! Very watery, far too light and can't really class it as a red wine when it looks so weak! Don't do it. Life is too short to drink bad wine!!

Thin, light, strawberry notes - but not in a good way. Finished the bottle only as some sort of penance for buying it.
