Information about "Afrikaans Vol. VI Cabernet Sauvignon Cinsault 2022"
The Afrikaans Cabernet Sauvignon Cinsault unveils a symphony of vibrant black and red currants intertwined with dark chocolate, spices, and a hint of Fynbos. On the palate, it reveals intense flavors of black currant and black cherry, supported by firm, youthful tannins, which are beautifully harmonized by the juicy red fruit of Cinsault. Lively acidity offers a thrilling contrast to the fruit's ripeness, balanced by savory notes of black pepper and tobacco leaf.
Afrikaans pays tribute to the rich culture, language, and terroir of South Africa. Crafted with passion and precision, the wines reflect the diverse landscapes and traditions that shape the nation. This collection features both a red and a white cuvée, designed to showcase the unique characteristics of South Africa's indigenous grape varieties. Bottled in limited editions, each wine guarantees exclusivity and a personal touch in every bottle. Each edition is accompanied by a poem on the label, adding a literary element that celebrates the Afrikaans language and its poetic heritage.
The Cabernet Sauvignon (83%) originates from Stellenbosch, while the Cinsault (17%) is sourced from the Piekenierskloof. All grapes were fully destemmed, gently crushed, and fermented in open fermentation vessels with the cap pushed down up to four times daily. After maceration, the wine was separated from the skins: the Cinsault aged in 500-liter barrels, while the Cabernet matured in 300-liter used French oak barrels, for 12 months.
