Tasting notes
The 2014 Follow The Line (named because the farmer told Duncan Savage to follow the telephone poles to find the vineyard that he leases out - hence the label) is a blend of 58% Cinsault, 21% Grenache and 21% Syrah. Including a lot of whole cluster grapes picked at around 12.5% to 13% potential alcohol, it has a lovely, pure and transparent nose with cranberry leaf, rose petals and a touch of rooibus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, precise and taut, somehow effortless and refined, with an engaging bitter cherry note on the finish that urges you to take another sip.

58% Cinsault, 21 % Grenache, 21% Syrah. Tiny bit of Piekenierskloof Grenache, very old bushvines, 500 m above sea level. Most of the fruit from Darling, which will become the Wine of Origin on this label in the near future. Pale ruby. Very fresh. Racy and round. Rose petals. (JR)
