The 2023 Illimis Cinsault is a testament to the unique terroir of Darling, South Africa, a region increasingly recognized for its exceptional cool-climate wines. Crafted by winemaker Lucinda Heyns, whose philosophy of clarity and minimal intervention allows the vineyard's voice to be heard, this wine showcases the purity of 100% Cinsault. Sourced from a venerable bushvine vineyard planted in 1974, the grapes thrive in well-drained, red, loam soils of granitic origin, resulting in a wine of delicate character and intense aromatics.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Inviting notes of cranberry, raspberry, and hints of flowers and herbs.
  • Palate: Delicate red fruit flavours of cherry and strawberry, with nuances of fresh sage and thyme.
  • Finish: Light and fresh with fine, soft tannins, leaving a pleasantly dry and lingering cherry note.

Perfect Food Pairings

This red wine pairs beautifully with:

  • Seafood: Especially seared tuna.
  • Poultry/Pork: Pork dishes are a good match.
  • Vegetarian: Enjoy with a variety of vegetable-focused meals.
