How a previously underrated grape variety is finally having its moment in the sun.
Saw a South African one on the wine list at the excellent Lady Libertine wine bar in Edinburgh yesterday. I settled for a carafe of Pecorino…so i shall have to return! Nice article thanks Henry 👍
Somehow I have never had a South African Cinsault and now I am in need of one.
I've been drinking a lot of Bosman Cinsault. Lovely wine and not as pricey as the very best SA ones. Link here: https://www.masterofmalt.com/wine/bosman/bosman-twyfeling-cinsault-2021-wine/
Thank you so much!
Curious about your thoughts on Tablas Creek Cinsault from Ch Beaucastel vines!!
I'd LOVE to try it but I don't think it's exported to England sadly. Big fan of their wines ever since I visited in 2009.
Blank Bottle are terrific. Haven't had that one unfortunately .
Totally agree. Never had a bad bottle from them.
Need to see if my brother has any in atm.
The question I really wanted answered - is it a hard or a soft 'c'? I've never known.
If you're French it's pronounced 'san so'.
The wine trade is riddled with snobbery sadly.
I agree *he says ironing his red trousers*
