About This Wine


Postal Stone

Cinsault

Postal Stone 2025 Cinsault is a tribute to the "postal stones" once used by early mariners at the Cape of Good Hope to leave messages for passing ships. This wine delivers its own special message from the rugged Piekenierskloof region of South Africa. While the landscape can be a flurry of activity, our winemakers use their unwavering dedication to capture the best of this unique vintage. This ripe & jammy red is unpretentious and authentic—a steadfast companion for those who enjoy the simple pleasures of a family meal. It is a warm and inviting expression that encourages you to take pause, appreciate the moment, and enjoy a sense of casual dependability.  Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Piekenierskloof

Piekenierskloof

Piekenierskloof is a relatively small area at the southern end of the Olifants River region, 100 miles north of Cape Town. This winegrowing region is earning recognition for its high-elevation wines. In fact, Piekenierskloof now boasts some of South Africa's highest vineyards as winemakers continue to explore the Citrusdal Valley's mountainside terroirs. Lying at the base of the Cederberg Mountains, this fertile valley was known historically for its citrus production. But oranges and lemons are slowly giving way to hillside vineyards planted with Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinotage, Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes.
