Strydom Legends and Myths Cinsault 2023

Light vibrant red colour with purple pink edges. The palate is fresh with sweet tastes of strawberries, raspberries and candyfloss. The tannins are very soft and integrated and respects the fruitfullness of the wine. In spite of the softness, this wine will age beautifully.

In the cellar
The grapes were hand-picked during the morning and kept in a coolroom at 10 degrees Celsius before crushing the next day. Before filling the tank we put 30% whole bunches and softly stomped with our feet to release juice before we filled the top with the crushed grapes. Ferment started spontanuously before innoculation with Laffort RB2 yeast. Pressing after 7 days on skins and Malo-lactic fermentation was completed neutral barrels. Bottling in October 2023.
