Waterkloof Estate is serious when it comes to pure, unadulterated wines and it shows in its Seriously Cool Cinsault, a richly perfumed, elegant red wine to be enjoyed slightly chilled. The Chenin & Cinsault both hail from some of the oldest vineyards (planted in the 1960’s and 70’s) in the cool, coastal Helderberg area. This is not a run-of-the mill commercial wine, it is complex with persistent length and a great finish, hence they have used ‘seriously’ to imply just that. This wine really is seriously cool!
Our Cinsault is known as COOL because we recommend that you enjoy it at a lower temperature (around 14°C) and because it stems from the cooler slopes. We also describe it as SERIOUS because it ensures a well-structured, memorable length in the mouth.
The old bush vines gave rise to a soft, balanced tannin structure and elevated length. This wine is playful in its aromas with pronounced floral and perfume notes, backed by a savoury undertone. I enjoy going back to my glass to appreciate the complexity. In the mouth, the prominent fruit aromatics are complemented by soft tannins that develop effortlessly.
This wine can be enjoyed on its own, but also pairs well with a variety of dishes, especially duck or a pork-belly inspired dish.
