The Apprentice White Cinsault

Drink this white wine from South Africa well chilled at 8 - 10°C as an accompanying wine with spaghetti with yoghurt mint pesto, pumpkin casserole or coconut lime fish curry.

This white wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Cinsault. Only impeccable grape material was used for this exceptionally elegant varietal wine from Stellenrust. At the time of optimum ripeness, the grapes for The Apprentice White Cinsault are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machines.

After fermentation, The Apprentice White Cinsault is aged for 9 months in oak barrels.

After harvesting, the grapes reach the press house in the fastest way. Here you are sorted and carefully ground. Fermentation is then carried out in small wood at controlled temperatures.
