Product Description:
What's fascinating about Cinsaut is the depth of its texture and the tannins of this large-berried grape, as one would normally expect these characteristics from small-berried varieties. It possesses an immense volume that defies expectations. The 2022 Pofadder displays delicate red fruit of great purity and straightforwardness, complemented by oriental spices and earthy aromas that suggest greater complexity in the future. These aromas are also reflected on the palate, representing a serious style of Cinsaut. The tannins are remarkably smooth with soft acidity.

Vinifikation The Cinsault grape is a classic at the Cape and is currently experiencing a small renaissance. Although it is still rarely found on the label as a single varietal, as it is usually blended with Cabernet Sauvignon without mention or used for Port-like fortified wines, and not infrequently distilled. This very fact is very regrettable, because as a single varietal wine, Cinsault is incredibly enjoyable. Even if it is not easy to control its oxidative character and strong vigor. According to Eben Sadie, this wine simply had to be included in the Ouwingerdreeks collection, because its importance for viticulture at the Cape cannot be swept under the rug. The Pofadder comes from the best parcel on Riebeek Mountain. 50% of the grapes are filled as whole bunches into concrete tanks, while the other 50% are destemmed and also added to the concrete tanks to get juice into the tank. Fermentation begins spontaneously on the skins and lasts about 30 days, after which the wine is pressed and aged for 11 months on the lees in old wooden vats and transferred to a concrete tank for another month.
