Product information "Piekenierskloof Cinsault 2020"
The Piekenierskloof Cinsault presents an elegant and velvety character with a dense concentration of colour in the glass. Aromas of red berries and cherries as well as subtle undertones of black olives and black spices beguile the senses in this well-balanced Cinsault. Lively fine tannins and an immensely elegant complexity finish deliciously in a sheer endless finish and provide a unique pleasure experience!

On arrival at the winery, the hand-picked grapes were first subjected to a 24-hour cold swelling phase before fermentation was set in motion in steel tanks with the addition of selected yeast cultures at a regulated temperature of below 24°C. After the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic fermentation was also completed in the steel tank. Half of the wine matured for 12 months in second, third and fourth French oak barrels (500 l), while the other half matured in a wine foudre.
