Description
TASTING NOTE FROM THE GLASS OF NADIA LANGENEGGER (WINEMAKER)
Our Cinsault is known as COOL because we recommend that you enjoy it at a lower temperature (around 14°C) and because it stems from the cooler slopes. We also describe it as SERIOUS because it ensures a well-structured, memorable length in the mouth.
The old bush vines gave rise to a soft, vibrant and yet structured wine. It is playful in its aromas with light red berries such as raspberry and strawberry. I also enjoy the pronounced florals and slight earthy notes on this wine. In the mouth, the prominent fruit aromatics are complemented by soft tannins with great length.
This wine can be enjoyed on its own, but also pairs well with a variety of dishes, especially duck or pork-belly inspired Asian dishes.

Seriously Cool sounds like an attempt to get down with the kids, but it’s more of a reference to the windy location of Waterkloof’s winery. This Cinsault comes from Bottelary and the Helderberg and delivers a lot of flavour and structure at the price, sinewy tannins and juicy bramble and black cherry fruit. 2024-29
