Darker more brooding fruit is prominent on the nose layers of crushed white pepper and red cherries. The palate has some grip on the entry with fleshy red fruit and ends with some beautiful spice and chewy tannin.

Three different portions of Cinsault go into this wine all hailing from old vine bush vine blocks. Each portion is picked around 21.5-22.5 Brix so the final wine is driven by fresh red fruit and lots of spice. The grapes are harvested by hand and driven to the cellar where they spend a night in the chiller before processing the following day. A small portion of Pinotage from Durbanville gives this wine its backbone and some incredible aging potential.

McFarlane Wines

McFarlane Wines was born while sharing dreams and desires one evening over dinner, sometime in 2018. A dream to have something family-owned and operated, and a deep desire to honour some of South Africa’s heritage varieties. South Africa’s vinous history is a unique one, and certain varieties have had a significant influence in shaping where the South African wine industry is today. McFarlane Wines aims to produce fine, honest wines from these varieties and share what we love about them with the world.
