Dorrance Wines 2023 Cinsault
South African Red
Violet, spice and purple-fruit notes sit in a medium- to full-bodied Cinsault with fine texture, firm but approachable tannins and a fresh, lingering finish. The grapes were left as whole bunches, without crushing or destemming, and fermented in open tanks. Seventy percent matured in stainless steel and thirty percent in old French oak; sulphur was the only addition.
Dorrance 2023 Rosé
South African Rosé
Wild berries and fresh white peach meet a touch of spice and summer-fruit flavours. The palate is soft, and the wine remains easy to drink. Cinsault comes from a single vineyard in the Paardeberg. The fruit was fermented in stainless steel, then remained on its lees. The wine is dry, with 12.5 percent alcohol, 2.0 grams per litre of residual sugar and 6.9 grams per litre of total acidity.
