It was very good for my sashimi today.

It is a new arrival from South Africa.
When I visited the winery last year, I tasted this one and was amazed in its outstanding quality.
Cinsault was born in Languedoc.
Because the grape has a neutral character and a high yield amount, it has been used blend of wine.
South Africa grows a lot of Cinsault, too.
Well, this Cinsault is amazingly delicious.
You usually find red wines in South Africa dark and heavy.
But this one is opposite, brillante and elegant.
I felt a fresh aroma, red berries acidity, elegant tannin and charming mouthfeel.
Also you could find delicate sophistication in the light taste if you are wine geek.

What a delicious wine is this!
