Longavi
The Longaví range is a collaboration between Chilean wine producer Julio Bouchon and Cederberg Private Cellar’s winemaker David Nieuwoudt. The idea to make wine together developed over several years as the two friends met at the annual London Wine Fair and tasted each other’s wines, vintage to vintage. Longaví means ‘snake’s head’ and is also the name of a volcanic mountain at the foot of the Andes Mountains that Julio finds particularly inspiring. The vineyards are situated in the Leyda Valley in Chile, a mere 8 km from the cool Pacific Ocean. The first wine, a Sauvignon Blanc, was produced in 2013 and was followed by a Pinot Noir. The Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 was released in 2016. All the wines are made in Chile.
Description
The Glup Cinsault 2021 offers a light red color with vibrant aromas of red fruits such as raspberry and strawberry, along with wild herbs. On the palate, it is fresh and juicy, with soft tannins and good acidity providing balance and a long finish.
Food Pairing
This fresh and elegant wine pairs well with light meats, sausages, and grilled vegetables.
