Information about "Waterkloof Seriously Cool Cinsault 2023"
The Waterkloof Seriously Cool Cinsault effortlessly merges elegance and freshness, deriving from the cool Helderberg region. With a recommended serving temperature of 14°C, it showcases a balanced structure and a notably long finish, aptly earning the 'Serious' title. The old bush vines contribute to a harmonious tannin structure, resulting in impressive length. Its complex floral aromas emanate a captivating bouquet, enriched by savory hints. On the palate, it delights with a rich array of red fruits, particularly raspberries and strawberries, enveloped in soft tannins.
The grapes were gently pressed whole to yield their juice, undergoing spontaneous fermentation without commercial yeast. The must was submerged twice daily to maximize flavor and color extraction. Left on skins for 30 days, it was then gravity-fed into stainless steel tanks. The skins were pressed using a traditional basket press. This wine then matured for 12 months in 600L French oak barrels. Minimal sulfur was added, preserving the authentic character of the Cinsault grape.
