  Medium-bodied with fragrant boysenberry perfume, red fruit flavours and a juicy texture. This is a fresh Rhone-style blend of Cinsaut, Syrah and Grenache. Vinification involves carbonic maceration of whole bunches prior to alcoholic fermentation, then basket pressed, followed by maturation in 3rd- and 4th-fill French oak barrels for 8 months before bottling.

  Honest and elegantly crafted wines by Constantia Glen Winemaker, Justin van Wyk. Made with the utmost care and attention from specially selected vineyards planted across the greater Western Cape.

  2016 Cinsault, Illimis

  £2900

  This is a stunning example of what Cinsault is capable of – intense turkish delight and cherry aromas. The tannins are soft, and it has loads of layered fruit and savoury notes.   

  From a dry-farmed plot of bush vines, planted in 1974, this is as delicate, fine and finessed as Cinsault gets. 

  Part of a trio of knock-out wines from Lucinda Heyns this year, the Illimis Cinsault all comes from Darling, a region that produces several of the best examples in the country. Lightly wooded, with 50% carbonic maceration, it’s a gentle, ethereal, floral style with fine tannins and some supporting grip.     93points – Tim Atkin MW, timatkin.com (September 2019)
