Opstal Cabernet Sauv./Cinsault 2020

Opstal Estate Cabernet Sauvignon/ Cinsault 2020

Winemaking

Grapes were crushed, destalked and pumped into an open-top concrete fermentation tank. The fermentation method consisted of a controlled ferment, with regular pump overs and gentle punch downs. Cinsault was 50% whole bunch fermented

Tasting Notes

In combination with the traditional Cab Sauv and Cinsault, this forms a very exciting blend of racy aromatic freshness and structure. The nose shows bright red cherry and cranberry aromas with some fresh herbs in the background. The palate is light bodied with juicy fruit and a fresh acidity.
