Cinsault has become synonymous with Natte Valleij.The father to our national varietal Pinotage and once stalwart red varietal of the industry, Cinsault has since fallen into obscurity. Affectionately still called Hermitage by the many old timers. This is our Coastal blend, a multi-regional extravagance, based from 5 dryland bush vines ranging in age from 14-50 years. Fermented naturally and aged for 12 months in a variety of concrete egg, foudre and barrel. Lots of depth and bright-eyed energy, w/ flavors of cherries, raspberries, strawberries, savory plums, a touch of chalkiness & earthiness.
