Old School Cinsault Cabernet Sauvignon

Having enjoyed many SA ‘Cabernet Sauvignons’ from the 1960’s and 1970’s I was enthralled to discover that many of these old gems included a far greater percentage of Cinsault than Cabernet such was the shortage of Cabernet Sauvignon vines in production at the time. The laws legislating label declarations conveniently allowing these wines to be labelled and sold as Cabernet Sauvignon. Old School has a lifted, feisty orange zest driven bouquet with light kirsch-like aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft dark cherry and white pepper tinged entry, smooth and balance.
