Sanniesrust Cinsaut

Feather-light but emotionally loaded, like a Wim Wenders film with subtitles and heartache. “Sanniesrust” is a study in restraint: silky tannins, sour cherry, rooibos, dried cranberry, and a whisper of old leather and pencil shavings. There’s a haunting beauty in its quietness — a wine that doesn’t perform, but stays with you long after the glass is empty. A masterclass in subtlety from Reenen Borman.

Winemaking note: Old bush vines from the Sanniesrust farm. Fermented with partial whole bunch, minimal extraction, aged in old oak barrels. No fining or filtration. Elegant, transparent, and deeply South African.
