Darling and the Swartland are the twin sources of this stylish Cinsault, which always seems to age better than people expect. Aged in concrete and old barrels, it has more colour and concentration than usual, with bramble, goji berry and rose petal notes and savoury tannins. 2023-28

From two vineyards in Swartland and Darling on clay-rich soils, the 2021 Cinsault includes 50% whole bunch aged in concrete. It has a clean and pure bouquet with red cherries and crushed strawberry, very perfumed with rose petals and a touch of loamy soil. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip for a Cinsault; the 2021 has a keen line of acidity and is juicy towards the finish with a touch of pepper lingering on the aftertaste. This will be difficult to resist in its youth. 2023-36
