SBO550

From mature, unirrigated bush vines in Paarl, this old dame is remarkably light on her feet. Inestimably life-affirming and a pure joy to drink.

Production

30 year old, dry grown bush vine Cinsault from sustainably farmed blocks, brought to Wildeberg where roughly 30% of the fruit undergoes carbonic maceration due to some whole bunch material in the press. The juice is then allowed to ferment spontaneously in older French oak. A naturally produced wine with no fining or filtration and low sulphur levels.

Tasting notes

The nose is alluringly bright with aromas of fresh cranberry and raspberry. The palate reflects these with vibrant, crunchy red berry fruit, tangy acidity and warm, gently spicy notes. An immediately appealing and quaffable style with a serious streak of quality thanks to the low yielding bush vine fruit.

Food match

Lightly chilled with Mediterranean dishes, chargrilled veg, pan fried shrimp or Asian inspired dishes.
