Tasting notes
The Kleine Zalze Cinsault rosé Cellar Selection is an elegant rosé wine from the Stellenbosch region in South Africa. It is made from 100% Cinsault grapes sourced from selected vineyards.
The wine has a bright pink color and a bouquet of red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and cherries, accompanied by subtle floral notes. On the palate it is fresh and juicy, with a lively acidity structure that underlines its freshness and vivacity. Flavors of red berries and a hint of spice round out the taste and lead to a long and refreshing finish.
Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
