Darling Cellars Old Bush Vines Cinsaut 2021

An irresistible, well balanced red wine, with a bright ruby red colour and sour cherries, red cherries and candy floss on the nose. The fruity palate is delicious with earthiness and flavours of white pepper followed by a fresh acidity on the pallet. Grape tannins very well supported by the oak tannins. The wine finishes with a long aftertaste.

This wine will go very well with roasted leg of lamb, Moroccan lamb, well-made Curry stews or Escargot. Suitable for Vegans.
