Note di degustazione
The Savage Wines 2023 Cinsault Follow The Line has a tiny 6% addition of Syrah for extra spice and color. The 2023 vintage is cool, making for lighter-colored wines in general. However, the bouquet here is beautiful. You get lifted red fruit with heritage rose, lavender pastilles and strawberry cream. It is not a massive or powerful wine, nor is it intended to be. It remains soft and pretty, showing definition and clarity. Fruit comes from Darling close to the beach with high winds and a 10-degree drop in temperatures. This bottle underlines the enormous potential of South African Cinsault.

The 2023 Follow the Line is 93% Cinsault and 7% Syrah from dry-farmed 42-year-old vines on a south-facing, wind-exposed, site in Darling on granitic soils. It has an open-knit, well-defined, transparent bouquet with earthy red berry fruit, tea leaf and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth in texture, with lovely wilted rose petals infusing the red fruit. Leaner than the other Cinsaults, it’s easy-drinking in many ways but still complex. This will be irresistible over the next decade.
