it's what Cinsault should taste like

the vines grow in granite soils

the Winebar team will be taking orders on the evening for home delivery

and chamomile vanilla tea on the nose with a layered palate of citrus and stone fruit all wrapped up in a firm mineral grip

Four long weeks on the skins add grippy tannic structure to hold the silky palate of dark cherry and juicy plum together while 11 months in oak barrels finesses it all into one flawless monologue

Picquet Chenin '20 Bot River it's what Cinsault should tasteFrancois Haasbroek of Blackwater Wines releases wine only when he deems them ready to drink, and not a minute before. Picquet 2020, his flagship Chenin from a vineyard planted in the 80's on the steep slopes of Piket Bo Berg, spent 13 months in barrel and 4 years in bottle before he decided it was good enough. And boy, we're glad he did, because this cool climate Swartland Chenin tastes like crisp pears, juicy white peaches, and chamomile tea.
