NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This lovely Badenhorst Cinsault Ramnasgras offers aromas of ripe red cherry and raspberry, as well as hints of dried herbs, violets and a touch of white pepper.On the palate, this medium-bodied wine has a juicy mid-palate with a bright acidity that lifts the flavors of raspberry, red currant and a hint of spice. The finish is long and persistent with a pleasing minerality. Enjoy this Cinsault on its own or with a light summer salad.
