WildebergTerroirsCinsault

Wildeberg Terroirs Cinsault is made by the superb winemaker JD Rossouw from old bush vine Cinsault. Gentle non-intervention winemaking expresses the pure fruit from this vineyard. Bright, juicy red fruits with earthy notes and a precise moreish finish.

Made from a single site of bush vine Cinsault in Wellington, planted in 1974 on well-drained slopes of deep, soft loams littered with granite and quartz in the shadow of the Hawekwa mountains. Hand-harvested bush vine fruit is naturally fermented at Wildeberg with 30% whole bunch pressing. 9 months ageing in 600 ltr French oak, mainly older barrels, 15% new. Minimal intervention at all stages in order to capture the natural site-specific energy of this unique fruit.
