mehrere Informationen

The Waterkloof Seriously Cool Cinsault is really cool! It is cool on the one hand because it comes from the cool Helderberg region and on the other hand because the serving temperature recommended by the winemaker is a cool 14 C. With its excellent structure and long finish it is incredibly serious, hence the name "Serious". The old bushy vines give this special drop a well-balanced tannin structure and a stunning length. Playfully complex and floral aromas exude a beguiling perfume with rounding hearty notes in the background. The palate is caressed by an exceptionally aromatic fruit nuance, accompanied by soft tannin. This text has been automatically translated.

Treatment in the cellar

In order to extract the juice from the grapes as gently as possible, all the grape material was pressed all over the bunch. The alcoholic fermentation took place spontaneously, without any addition of commercial yeasts, and the mash was meanwhile submerged twice a day to extract an optimum of colour and flavour nuances. The wine was left on the skin for 30 days and then drained by gravity into steel tanks. The berries and skins were pressed in the traditional basket press. The wine then matured for 8 months in French oak barrels with a capacity of 600 litres per barrel. This stunning wine fully expresses the true and pure character of the Cinsault grape - apart from a small addition of sulphur, nothing else was added to this wine.
