ABOUT THIS WINE:
Sestien Wind Cellars
Cinsault
Crafted for curious palates and social souls, this 2024 Cinsault hails from Piekenierskloof, where mountain air and coastal breezes shape a unique wine. Made with only natural winemaking processes - nothing added except the essence of the land. Each glass opens with a splash of cherry and raspberry, followed by wild strawberry and a flicker of violet florals. Then comes the twist—the scent of South Africa’s fynbos. Dusty, herbal, and powerful, this note pulls you into a landscape of rugged slopes and aromatic shrubs. A pop of white pepper mingles with the herbaceous edge, sparking balance with a dry, earthy undertone that lingers after your sip. Smooth and expressive, this wine is for explorers who bring people together. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

WINE REGION:
Western Cape
The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape.

Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.

TASTING NOTES:
Cherry
Dried Herbs
Raspberry
On the palate, the wine is smooth, round, and satisfying with each sip. Pronounced fruitiness leads to a fruity finish, with a light woody trace and herbaceous buchu-like fynbos. Balanced and refreshing, its brightness speaks clearly of its origin—vibrant, expressive, Piekenierskloof.
