100% Cinsault. Lovely, fresh berry flavors, with hints of tobacco, spice and savory notes. Luscious and concentrated, but medium-bodied. A bold wine with elegant structure. Winemaker Corlea Fourie believes that the Renaissance of Cinsaut is upon us! This is our humble (and modern) take on what a Wellington bush vine Cinsaut might look like. Sorted, de-stemmed, slightly crushed grapes fermented at lower temperatures (24-26oC) and matured in a 225l and second and third fill French oak barrels. Roughly filtered on the bottling line. This particular vineyard was singularly farmed by a woman, Mrs. Hauptfleisch, in the 1800s. The townspeople did not think she could keep the business going without a husband, so dubbed her farm “Twyfeling”- or Afrikaans for “doubt”. Little did they know that not only would her farm survive well into the future, but so too did her original tools, which are on display at the winery and shown on the wine label. Steeped in history and tradition, the 8th generation Bosman Family Vineyards is one of South Africa’s oldest and most established wineries. The rich history of Bosman Family Vineyards is a testament to the familys commitment to people, the land, and of course, the art of wine-making. Situated in the shadow of the Limiet Mountains near Wellington in the Western Cape, Bosman Family Vineyards continues to build upon a proud family legacy. Producing exceptional quality, hand-crafted wines from specially selected vineyards from their farms in Wellington, Hermon & Hermanus epitomizing their distinct values and the extraordinary place they call home.
