More details
The Fairview Bushvine Cinsault 2024 comes from 31-year-old bush vines planted in 1994 on the upper slopes of the Fairview farm. These dryland vines grow in deep Oakleaf soils and produce naturally balanced fruit with bright red flavours. The vineyard team nurtures this block toward official Old Vine status through mulching, careful pruning and crop control.
The cellar team handpicked the grapes on 26 February. They placed 20% whole bunches at the bottom of the tank and added the rest after hand-sorting. Fermentation took place in open-top stainless-steel tanks with gentle punch-downs and pump-overs twice daily. After fermentation, they drained the wine and basket-pressed the skins. The wine matured for 10 months in older French oak before light filtration and bottling.
Cinsault 2024 is bright and perfumed with cherry, plum, spice and bay leaf. The palate is juicy, fresh and light with a clean finish. It’s a vibrant summer red and a lively expression of fairview wines and modern South African red wine from top wine farms South Africa.
