Why you'll love it
A naturally made, low-intervention Cinsault from Swartland's organic bush vines. Crafted by Craig Hawkins, it's a vibrant, chillable red that offers exceptional value.
A light, juicy red with notes of red cherry, strawberry, and red apple, complemented by subtle earthy and herbal undertones. Bright acidity and soft tannins make it refreshing and easy to drink.
Perfect with charcuterie, grilled meats, or spicy dishes. Also delightful slightly chilled on its own.
