Natte Valleij Cinsault Collector’s Pack

Each collector’s case contains one bottle each of the below:

Swartland Cinsault 2017 – 12.5%
Bush vines planted in 1986 on decomposed Malmesbury shale. Selected fruit was de-stalked with 20% of the stalks left to dry in the sun before being added to the fermentation tank. Fermentation spanned 10 days before being gently pressed manually and moved to concrete egg for 12 months.
Look for bright fruits in a lively and elegant wine.

Stellenbosch Cinsault 2017 – 12%
