Cinsaut

This Cinsaut can be enjoyed on its own or paired with most light meat dishes.

A very dry and mild winter led to a small crop and gradual ripening. Tiny berries allowed the production of wines with highly concentrated varietal character.

The grapes were harvested at 23°B, the juice was inoculated immediately. Fermentation took place at 26-28°C for about 4 days. Pumped over 3 times daily during alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was completed in tanks and the wine kept on the malolactic.

Bellevue Wine Estate, a family-owned estate with over 200 years of winemaking heritage, proudly pioneered one of South Africa’s first commercial Pinotage plantings. Rooted in Stellenbosch's rich viticultural history, we create terroir-driven wines with minimal intervention, crafting each bottle to tell a story.
