Stellenbosch Reserve Cinsault 2024
Cinsaut
Description
Stellenbosch Reserve is a collaborative range produced by the team behind Rust en Vrede Estate, under the direction of Jean Engelbrecht. While Rust en Vrede is best known for its structured Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux-style wines, this range allows the team to explore a broader palette of varieties and vineyard sites across Stellenbosch.
The Cinsault 2024 reflects a more contemporary winemaking approach, with fruit sourced from selected vineyards that emphasise freshness and aromatic clarity. Gentle extraction and restrained oak use ensure the wine remains focused on purity and texture, offering a lighter, more nuanced expression of Stellenbosch red wine.
It’s a style that leans towards finesse - highlighting bright fruit, subtle savoury detail, and drinkability without losing a sense of place.
Colour:
Bright ruby with a youthful, translucent hue.
Nose:
Fresh red berries - cherry, cranberry, and raspberry - lead, followed by delicate floral notes and a hint of spice. A subtle herbal edge adds complexity.
Palate:
Light- to medium-bodied with a smooth, supple texture. The fruit is clean and vibrant, supported by lively acidity and fine tannins. There’s a gentle savoury character that keeps the wine balanced and grounded.
Finish:
Fresh and lightly persistent, with red fruit and a soft herbal note lingering on the finish.
