Natte Valleij Cinsault 2022
The father to Pinotage and once the stalwart red variety of the South African wine industry, Cinsault has been recently rediscovered by Cape winemakers who want to create superbly drinkable wines marked by red fruit and spice aromas. This Coastal blend is a multi-regional extravagance, based from 5 dryland bush vines ranging in age from 50-14 years old. Unfiltered and vegan, this wine starts with aromas of earthy, wild strawberries. The palate is light-medium in body with a soft finish.
