Description
The Malanot Cinsault 2023 is a vibrant expression of this classic Rhône varietal, showcasing the elegance and finesse that South Africa’s terroir can bring to the table.
On the nose, it opens with delicate aromas of fresh red cherries, wild strawberries, and cranberries, underscored by hints of rose petals and subtle herbaceous undertones. A whisper of white pepper and earthy notes adds complexity.
The palate is light to medium-bodied, with a silky texture and refreshing acidity. Juicy red fruit flavors—think raspberry and pomegranate—are layered with a touch of spice and a faint mineral core, likely influenced by the vineyard’s soils. The tannins are fine-grained and supple, making this wine approachable and versatile.
The finish is clean and elegant, leaving a lingering note of red fruit and a gentle, savory spice.
Pairing Suggestions:
This Cinsault pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled vegetables, or a light charcuterie board. Its delicate structure also makes it a delightful companion to Mediterranean-style dishes or even slightly chilled for a summer barbecue.
Serving Recommendation:
Best served slightly below room temperature (14–16°C) to enhance its bright, fruity profile.
