Salt Rock El Niño Cinsault 2023
R216.00
Two nomads in the South African wine industry, Xander Grier and Rudolph Steenkamp came together to collaborate and express themselves in ways that the day-to-day hustle wouldn’t allow. Through Salt Rock Wines, they aim to create awareness of the effect of two climate phenomena that the world has been experiencing in the past few years: El Niño and La Niña.
The wine shows notes of cinnamon spice, cherries, raspberries and brambles. The tannins are soft and velvety with a great acid to give some great mid-pallet tension, resulting with a long juicy finish.
ANALYSIS: Alc 12.94 vol% | RS 1.5 g/l | TA 5.7 g/l | pH: 3.40
Description
This wine is made in classic Beaujolais style 40% whole bunch and one punch down a day to allow for softer extraction. The wine was fermented spontaneously to showcase the site and variety then aged in concrete egg to keep the core tight with 15% aged in an old 500L oak barrel. The wine should be served slightly chilled and allowed to warm up in the glass to open up and express itself.
