Cinsaut 2024

Craven Wines, teknisk ark/fact sheet (cravenwines.com – linket fra cravenwines.com, hentet 2026-10-18): 2024 Craven Wines Cinsaut – område: Stellenbosch; 100% Cinsault; alkohol 12.2%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Om vinen: In 2017 we were lucky enough to be shown some fruit from a farm we have always wanted to make wine from, named Rustenhof. This great farm lies in the Faure area and has an abundance of gorgeous Cinsaut. Our dryland, bush-vine block, planted in granite and sand, lies on an easterly facing slope and experiences cool ocean breezes in summer. The grapes were destemmed into open-top concrete fermenters. Although we would love to play around with some wholebunch here, we find that Cinsaut has a low acidity (whole bunch ferments tend to reduce acidity). We like to capture the fresher, brighter characters of Cinsaut and we find the use of concrete helps us preserve the bright fruit and energy of the wine. After the fermentation on the skins is complete, we drain and press back into concrete tanks for 6 months of elevage before bottling. Producentens noter (engelsk): Vineyard: Rustenhof
