South Africa | Coastal Region | Light Bodied | Cinsault |
Created in 1994, a young pup by wine standards, it is not to be underestimated. Named after South Africa’s most iconic bay, which frames much of the country’s premium winelands, False Bay Vineyards was born out of a desire to make ‘real’ wine affordable. 'Whole Bunch' Cinsault Mourvèdre is not cobbled together from off-cuts of leftover red and white wine. Nor is it over-cropped red grapes pressed aggressively to maximise juice yield and confected aromas. The wine comes from low-yielding, coastal vineyards, delicately whole-bunch basket pressed for only the purest juice. A fine wine that happens to be pink. Old bush vine Cinsault forms the backbone of this 'proper' rosé. A pale, spicy and textural Rosé mostly sourced from bush-vine Cinsault with summer fruits on the palate and a lovely clean, savoury, dry finish.
