Winemaker Description 

This is our humble (and modern) take on what a Wellington bush vine Cinsaut could look like. The vineyard is harvested in 3 components, picked only days apart. The grapes are hand sorted, de-stemmed and slightly crushed. Spontaneous fermentation is facilitated with daily punch downs and pump overs. A total of 10% of the wine fermented as a whole bunch component and 10% with stem contact to add freshness and complexity. The wine spent extended time on the skins after fermentation. Followed by a 12-month maturation period in 225L and 500L French oak barrels. The 2021 vintage saw 12% new oak. Gently filtered.

Deep plum centre with purple rim. Lovely fresh berry flavours with hints of tobacco, spice and savoury notes. 

VARIETAL: Cinsaut 100%.
