This magnificent expression of Cinsault was made for us by the wonderful and talented Lucinda Heyns, winemaker and owner of Illimis Wines.
Almost translucent. Barely trying. Elegant and light in the glass, and then — everything was there. Fruity, complex, unexpected.
I hadn't tasted Cinsault like that before. As its own thing. As itself. Not blended away, not overwhelmed — just standing quietly and being extraordinary.
I spent months nurturing it in the cellar. We bottled it on the 10th of June.
I just wanted to share it.
