"Last year, Mick released his first Cinsault, a grape he’s particularly excited about doing justice in South Africa. Sadly, the farmer had to return to his contract with Distell, so it was a one off. Fortunately, one of their other farmers proposed another site planted on sandy granite near the ocean. Serendipity yet again. These bush-vines are dry farmed and tend to yield grapes with higher acid than their previous vineyard. Wine making is the same as for their Syrah cuvées: whole-clusters, foot crushing, neutral barrels. 12% ABV" - Juice Imports

Craig gets his Syrah from a 0.75ha vineyard planted in 2001. The higher proportion of clay in the soils here help with dry farming, and they intentionally leave lots of leaves and shoots on the vines to keep ripeness in check. Whole-clusters were fermented in open top tank for 10 days before being pressed off into neutral puncheons. A small amount of SO2 was added a month before bottling. ABV 11.91%, TA 4.51, pH 3.73.

From a vineyard on very rocky granitic soil. A relatively subtle nose of red fruit, earth and spice. The palate, however, is surprisingly rich and broad with a pleasing sense of sweetness and quite soft tannins given that vinification involved 100% whole-bunch fermentation. Again, admirable composure. Alc: 12.5%.

"This wine was created as a juxtaposition to the Faure Syrah. They found this site in the Devon Valley, planted on richer red clay instead of the traditional granite. The vines are really vigorous but because of the warmer sub-climate, they feel like these vines are in a really healthy balance. The fruit tends to come in a full week before the Faure Syrah is ready, and at a slightly higher brix level. Winemaking between the two Syrah sites is identical: whole-cluster fermentation, light foot crushing, and ten-month élevage in neutral puncheon before racking and bottling. 12% ABV." Juice imports

El Tunél reflects the stubborn persistence of Itata’s old vineyards and their vignerons. Against all odds they have survived the test of time. We have the joy of working with grapes from our own old bushvine vineyards. El Tunél comes from a 0.6 hectares vineyard planted in 1959 by Victor Fuentealba. This delicately fresh Cinsault, orates Itata’s history of honest, organic and respectful viticulture. El Tunél shows delicate herbal notes that represent Itata's terroir, with its slightly saline taste and delicate notes of red fruit. It's fresh and breezy like the Itata hills. Tiny quantities produced. - Vino Al Vino (Importer)
