Fruit for the Rall Cinsault is from a combination of Darling old vines planted in 1982 (fermented in concrete using submerged cap) and a vineyard on the Paardeberg (semi-carbonic fermentation). Fermentation occurs naturally using 100% whole-bunches before aging for 8 months in 3000-liter foudre and older small French oak for the Swartland component. Multi-layered with some beautiful red fruit and crunchy, coated tannins from the stems and fresh acidity to bring the balance. More serious structure in this small yielding vintage.” – Winemaker’s notes
