Tasting notes
Slightly darker than the previous vintage, the 2021 Follow The Line displays bright, crunchy red fruit essences with dusty potpourri. Medium-bodied and with zesty, bright acidity, the mouthfeel is pure and crystalline with fresh cherries and a balanced structure that beams with a bright, succulent finish. It's incredibly food friendly, while the nose begs me back for more. With beautiful wines like this, one can easily see why South African Cinsault is so attractive yet admired by few and still underappreciated by many.

93% Cinsault, 7% Syrah. Mid to light cherry red. Pure, peppery, non-sweet fruit that makes me think of small wild berries. Both creamy and slightly chewy. Gentle, deceptively gentle, very long. Fresh bite on the finish. Dangerously drinkable. (JH)
The 2021 Follow The Line comes from 40-years-old Cinsault vines aged in three oak foudres . It has a quite an elegant, red berry fruit nose with touches of rooibos and bergamot, very well defined and focused. The palate has an understated intensity, fine acidity and is nicely structured with gentle grip, sappy with allspice and sage towards the persistent finish. This will be difficult to resist in its youth. Wonderful.
