Cinsault
Description
These Cinsault grapes are grown on 700 meters above sea level on decomposed granite soils and were picked beginning February from a mature 42 year old vineyard. In the winery we did 25%whole bunch natural fermentation which started slowly after three days of cold soak and completed in 14 days, then another 4 days on the skins after the wine was fermented dry. The wine spent 6 months in older small French oak barrels before preparing ( with minimum intervention ) for bottling. The result is an honest wine and true to Old Vines Cinsault – reflecting where it comes from.
